What is 1988?
1988 was a crucial year in the early history of the
Internet—it was the year of the first well-known
computer virus, the 1988 Internet
worm. The first permanent intercontinental
Internet link was made between the United States
(NSFNET) and Europe
(Nordunet) as well as the first Internet-based chat protocol, Internet
Relay Chat.1 The concept of the
World Wide Web was first discussed at
CERN in 1988.2
The Soviet Union began its major
deconstructing towards a mixed economy at
the beginning of 1988 and began its gradual
dissolution. The Iron
Curtain began to disintegrate in 1988 as
Hungary began allowing freer
travel to the Western world.3 The first
extrasolar planet, Gamma Cephei
Ab (confirmed in 2002) was detected this
year and the World Health
Organization began its mission to
eradicate polio.
