The Internet stretches temporality so much that we have the paradoxical impression of seeing this tool as something both so recent and abominably old. We just have to see the first stuff published on the Internet and its major platforms to feel close to the third age. These same old people who don't understand anything about the Internet.

1. The very first video uploaded to Youtube

It is called "Me at the zoo" ("me at the zoo" for people who have done Estonian LV1) and it was loaded on April 23, 2005.

2. The very first tweet in the history of tweeting

And even that it was recently sold at auction for 2.4 million euros. A tweet sold at auction? Yes me too I have trouble understanding that virtual stuff is sold very expensive but apparently it's completely normal.

3. The very first photo posted on Instagram

A photo that announces many photos almost all equally interesting. It is then July 16, 2010.

4. The very first photo uploaded to the World Wide Web

And she is downright scary. Who are these women ? Which are ? Who ?

5. The very first webpage

We are then in 1991 and these are the first words published on the world wide web that we owe to Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the web.

6. The first site with the .com domain extension

It was in 1985, a Massachusetts computer manufacturer was the first stone in the building of .com.

7. The very first thing sold on eBay

We are in 1995 eBay was then called AuctionWeb and this pen less banal than it seems was sold for $14.83.

8. The very first thing sold on Amazon

It's April 3, 1995. John Wainwright, a customer like no other, bought Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies by Douglas Hofstadter without knowing that it was the first of a long, very long list.

9. The very first webcam image

IT people love coffee. However, when the coffee machine is on another floor, the ultimate fear is to walk all the way and arrive in front of an empty coffee machine. This is how in 1991 Cambridge researchers found THE solution. Install a webcam constantly filming the coffee machine to see if it was worth moving the fiak.

10. The first document trick that used emoticons

And it already sounded passive aggressive.
