On August 6, 1991 the World Wide Web was born. Tim Berners-Lee, the brain behind World Wide Web, posted a summary of a project to organize information on a computer network by making use of a "web" of hyperlinks: the "WorldWideWeb," also then known as W3. The W3 made its debut then as a publicly available service on the Internet.

In two decades of the WWW, the world has been completely changed. The world got speed in almost everything. From sending letters to making phone calls, and from shopping to watching missed TV series. Everything has been changed.

Asia Pacific News entire team gives a big thank to Tim Berners-Lee for revolutionizing the world.

A dozen best presents that World Wide Web has given to the world:

Search engines like Goolge, Bing and Yahoo that made searching easy and simple with few simple keystrokes. No more going to library for information.

Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, and other such email services made our letters reach in real time along with sending photos, songs, videos and more.

Wikipedia, the most reliable and best source for information, became the encyclopedia on the Internet.

Social networking sites such as Facebook, Google+ and Orkut revolutionized the way we communicate with our friends, relatives, and other people.

YouTube and few other video sites made broadcasting ourself possible with no cost. Teen reality star Justin Bieber was discovered on YouTube.

Skype, Google Voice, Yahoo messenger, and many other sites made voice and video calling possible from anywhere.


Tila Tequila is a star born on the World Wide Web. The reality star was discovered on MySpace. Similarly, teen superstardom Justin Bieber was found on YouTube.

Amazon, ebay, and many other shopping sites made shopping easy and made it possible to shop from within the four walls of our home or office.

Hackers likes Lulzsec and Anonymous, though nuisance to authorities, have gathered much media attention across the world.


Missing your favorite show was made possible to watch through sites like Hulu, Netflix, Redbox, amazon.com Prime etc.

Smartphones are the ultimate gifts of World Wide Web.

GPS service is one of the best gifts and highly helpful to find where in the world is XYZ. You can locate anyone with the help of GPS system.

Pakistan Flood Coverage Lingers

By ETHAN Markoff Some of the natural disasters shock the whole humanity, intensifying the belief system that there is something beyond the reach of mankind. A man is blissfully helpless when it comes to head-to-head with nature, yet all the development of mankind depends on struggle against the nature. The queer permutation combination of man and nature sometimes leave dreadful impression that haunts people for long. The Pakistan flood is yet another example of natural disaster that has thrown hundreds of thousand people into adverse condition and finally caused a million people's death. The worst-ever flood in the South East Asia occurred about two months back, and still capturing attention of the whole world. In the last five years, there had been other similar disasters like the earthquake in Kashmir in 2005, the 2006 Asian tsunami or Haiti's crisis in 2010.

India's Own Conservative Incest Story

Incest Story In Haryana Just a few days back India gloriously celebrated its 64th Independence Day but the oxymoron of Indian freedom runs in Indian villages. Nowadays one of the most noted sarcasms is quite in style in national news channels. The noise is quite audible, and annoyance level is also comfortably high. The subject is the most tempting one to mankind – sex. Haryana, a state in India known for flourishing industrialism and affluent farmers, seems living in the medieval period. The self-proclaimed Haryana’s Khaps are the sham ‘kings’ of the villages. Their “moral judgments” can even make shy to the epitomes of immorality. They do all sort of things – to solve personal problems of family, to give judgment of any conflict, and above all their profound knowledge in ancient gotras, caste system etc. is mind-boggling. A recent example is about a law graduate and resident of Karora village Seema whose brother had been killed for marrying a woman from the same gotra. This

Steve McCurry Famous Photograph – The Story Of The ‘Afghan Girl’

From EDITOR's Desk August 13, 2011 17 years later, the story continues with a simple photograph of a sea green eyed girl when a casual photography by McCurry turned out to be one of those captivating portrait that sear the heart and ran on the cover of National Geographic magazine in June 1985. The shy girl was among hordes of refugees at the refugee camp in Pakistan. The anger of those haunted eyes was apparent, which swept away the photography fraternity and not least the whole world, but after 17 years nobody actually remember her, even her name. The year is 2011 when a team from National Geography Television & Films brought McCurry to Pakistan to search the immortal face.
