UX Camp Winter 2025
A brief and incomplete history of UX Design on the World Wide Web: 1989–2019 (Or the last 30 years or so of the future)
In the beginning Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web. Most of us today just call it “The Web”. Before that, the internet was motes of order in chaos, islands of information segregated by a seemingly impenetrable ocean with no clear and easy path to travel between them. The internet could, in theory, connect all of humanity, but it needed an easy to use and understandable system for people not so well versed in the vagaries of the command line prompt. It needed the web.
In this session, Jason follows the development of the WWW and how design has never been the same since.
