The World Wide Web and High‐Energy Physics
DOI: 10.1063/1.882070
In his 1998 State of the Union address. President Bill Clinton told Congress: We should enable all the world’s people to explore the far reaches of cyberspace. Think of this: The first time I made a State of the Union speech to you, only a handful of physicists used the World Wide Web—literally, just a handful of people. Now, in schools, in libraries, homes and businesses, millions and millions of Americans surf the Net every day.
