In fact, HTML is the most significant computing language ever developed. Underestimate it at your peril.
In my case, the internet was available on just a few machines at my high school—I didn’t have a computer at home, let alone dial-up—but I quickly made myself an amateur expert in navigating the strange new space that Tim Berners-Lee and his colleagues had brought into being. Since I didn’t have an email address, he set up a text entry field on his site where I could send him messages, with stern instructions that the textbox was “only for TIM.” He’d post his own responses directly on the website, so I (and theoretically anyone) could read them when I next got access to a machine.
