Listen in as I explore the most pivotal moments so far for July 29th, that have shaped the online world as we know it. Each episode of Practical Digital Strategies is a deep dive into the stories, technologies, and innovations that have left an indelible mark on the internet.

Episode Highlights:

• The Launch of Mosaic (July 29, 1993): Mosaic introduced the world to the concept of easily accessible, graphical web pages, revolutionizing how people interacted with the Internet. Its user-friendly interface made the Internet more accessible to a broader audience, setting the stage for the explosive growth of the World Wide Web. This was a turning point that transitioned the Internet from a tool used primarily by researchers and tech enthusiasts to a global platform for information sharing and communication.
• Establishment of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) (July 29, 1994): The W3C has been instrumental in standardizing many elements of the web, including HTML, XML, and CSS. These standards ensure the interoperability of web technologies, making it easier for information to be shared and accessed globally. The establishment of the W3C was crucial for fostering a cohesive and universally accessible web, driving innovation, and maintaining the open nature of the Internet.
• Adoption of the IPv6 Protocol (July 29, 2016): The adoption of IPv6 was critical in addressing the issue of IPv4 address exhaustion. IPv6 provides a vastly larger pool of IP addresses, ensuring that the Internet can continue to grow and accommodate the increasing number of devices connected to it. This transition was essential for the sustainability and scalability of the global Internet infrastructure.
