The World Wide Web Will Never Catch On
A note on this post: it was originally published in 2012. The web moves quickly, and some of what's described here may look quite different today. The thinking behind it still holds up, but specifics may need a little updating. We've left it here as part of an honest record of the work, thinking, and conversations that have shaped DESIGN DPI over the years.
It is such a shame that this spoof front page from The Sun isn't true… at least the date used, Monday, May 20, 1991 was genuine.
The World Wide Web Will Never Catch On
Thousands of Twitter users fell for the prank, and then no sooner had the jokes headline been discredited, rumours began to spread across the interwebs that there was a "kill switch" for the world wide web which could literally turn off the Net globally. This theory was later rubbished by Sir Tim Berners-Lee himself.
But we thought everything on the internet is true… isn't it?
