David Galbraith lleva un par de años haciendo arqueología digital en un esfuerzo por encontrar y preservar la oficina en la que se inventó la web:
I suspect that in 100 years, CERN’s legacy as the birthplace of the web will surpass the discovery of the Higgs, W or Z bosons. The web will have had an impact on every day life which could be compared to that of printing, in which case this location could be compared to Guttenberg’s workshop, which had to be reconstructed many years after, when people realized its importance, too late.
Now you could argue that the web is not as important as the invention of printing (I disagree) but its certainly up there with say a major artist’s studio. In which case, consider the extraordinary length’s taken to preserve the floor in Jackson Pollock’s studio and consider that the room where the web was invented is treated just like any other room.
Absolutamente.
Otro dato tomado de su sitio web: todos asumimos que la web se inventó en Suiza porque al CERN se le entra por Suiza, pero según Galbraith, el edificio 31, donde queda la oficina en la que la web se inventó, queda unos metros dentro del territorio Francés.
