Today 25th INTERNAUT DAY


Internaut is a combination word of the  Internet and astronaut and refers to a designer, operator, or technically capable user
of the Internet.               
Beginning with  participants in
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), it gradually expanded to members of the Internet Society (ISoc) and the larger
community .
An internaut is online savvy, typically through
years of online experience, with a thorough knowledge of how to use search engines, Internet resources, forums, newsgroups and
chat rooms to find information. The more someone knows about the Internet, its history
and politics, the more likely the term internaut fits them. The less he or she knows the more
likely a different term would be more fitting.
Other terms roughly analogous with internaut are cybernaut and netizen, though each has its
own connotation. The common thread among them in English is an implication of experience and knowledge of the Internet or cyberspace
that goes beyond the casual user.
The French, however, use the term to describe any Internet user.
The creation of the World Wide Web by Time Berners-Lee enabled non-technical computer
experts to use the Internet in a simple and
quick way, making it accessible to billions of people around the world.
The Internaut day is celebrated on August 23, anniversary of the World Wide Web, which
was developed in the CERN laboratories
(Enquire / EV project) in Switzerland during
1989 - 1990, and opened to new users after
that day in 1991.Today is 25 th anniversary. It is celebrated by Facebook.
