Mosaic

Newsweek (March 13) -- Newsweek has reprinted its first story about the Internet: “Mosaic is a system for linking information through the Internet’s international network of computers; users have access to sound, graphics, and text not available through traditional Internet connections. Just a few months ago, Mosaic was hailed as the latest salvation of Western civilization (or, at the very least, a major technological breakthrough). Developed by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the U. of I., Mosaic was one of the first popular ‘browsers,’ the term for software used to navigate the Web.”
