Boston University is picked to come in second place this year … after Boston College!

Argh!

“The art and technique of informing, influencing, and motivating individual, institutional, and public audiences about important health issues.”

“The scope of health communication includes disease prevention, health promotion, health care policy, and the business of health care as well as enhancement of the quality of life and health of individuals within the community.”

Sounds good.

info.cern.ch was the address of the world’s first world wide web page and server. (.ch is the internet country code for Switzerland, where CERN is).

As for me personally, I downloaded Netscape Navigator in late 1994 or early 1995 during my freshman year at Boston University. I was the first person on my floor to have an internet browser.

Of course, finding web pages was difficult back then, pre-Yahoo and Google … but we made due.

I’d like to find an estimate of how many active web browsers there were on January 1, 1995. I bet it’d blow your mind …

Man, I am so glad I am not a journalist right now.
