Also excellent, yet one of those ... when? There's March 1989, when Tim Berners-Lee first "proposed" the software. August 1st is the World Wide Web's official birthday. Why? You got me. Because also Aug 2, 1991. when Berners-Lee announced his software — https://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/1991/08/art-6484.txt — etc., etc. And yes, 6 Aug., say other sources. Historians love to bicker about this sort of stuff.
While those are three excellent and difficult choices, I’m opting for August 6, 1991, when the World Wide Web made its public debut. It’s been a downhill slide toward the apocalypse ever since.
Sorry, ssdd, the above was meant in reply to you. I just now saw it out of place. As I noted on my other page, I nominated Warhol as a metaphor, of course — the culture writ large. And yes, the internet has come to define much of American culture, and not for the good.
