ABOUT US

Holyhead.com was created on may 5th 1998

Created by Ann Roberts to catalogue and reference holyhead, its life, the people, the places & the culture. It was in 2008 that the decision was made to update the site into a modern format with a user freindly interface. A search function has been added that allows people to search only holyhead.com and all results are displayed in the google search we are all familiar with. Using photobucket a popular image manipulation site, the vast collection has been uploaded and using slideshows makes viewing pictures easier and fun. Guidance for the new site was sought by Ann and found in holyhead... Mr.Grey who has spent his whole life using computers happened to be a freind of the family and had kept his knowledge of computers to himself until it was asked for, and when asked was generous with his donation of time, advice and teachings.

Here is a little info on the internet and when it was started provided by yahoo answers.

The network gained a public face in the 1990s. On August 6, 1991, CERN, which straddles the border between France and Switzerland, publicized the new World Wide Web project, two years after British scientist Tim Berners-Lee had begun creating HTML, HTTP and the first few Web pages at CERN.

An early popular web browser was ViolaWWW based upon HyperCard. It was eventually replaced in popularity by the Mosaic web browser. In 1993 the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois released version 1.0 of Mosaic, and by late 1994 there was growing public interest in the previously academic/technical Internet. By 1996 usage of the word "Internet" had become commonplace, and consequently, so had its misuse as a reference to the World Wide Web.

Meanwhile, over the course of the decade, the Internet successfully accommodated the majority of previously existing public computer networks (although some networks, such as FidoNet, have remained separate). During the 1990s, it was estimated that the Internet grew by 100% per year, with a brief period of explosive growth in 1996 and 1997. This growth is often attributed to the lack of central administration, which allows organic growth of the network, as well as the non-proprietary open nature of the Internet protocols, which encourages vendor interoperability and prevents any one company from exerting too much control over the network
