This week in tech history saw one of the biggest, most world-changing launches in modern times, on scale with the invention of the light bulb, radio and automobile. And if you were around at the time, even as an adult, you probably didn’t notice.

On August 6, 1991, Tim Berners-Lee made the World Wide Web public.

The internet and even websites did exist before that date, but there was no real way to navigate it. Pre WWW users either signed on (with their landline telephone) to bulletin board systems or, if they worked for an especially tech-forward company, to access an internal network. Everything was text based — no color display, photos or videos. If the average person saw it, it would have looked pretty boring.

A few visionaries saw it as anything but boring, and they started building the digital world we live in today. The internet changed everything.

With AI, we’re standing at the edge of a similar change. We’ve been here before, and when it comes to jobs, be a visionary ready to build what comes next.
