Internet 1996 World Exposition
- Internet 1996 World Exposition
The Internet 1996 World Exposition web site, distributed on 8 servers around the world in a "public park for the global village," received 5 million visitors from 130 countries. In-kind contributions from sponsors included the first DS3 over the Pacific Ocean and 2 terabytes of disk drives.
Throughout the year, a variety of events brought the fair into the real world. Japan decked Tokyo's Harajuku District with banners and parties, Taiwan opened public computers in 100 locations, and the Netherlands brought the fair to street festivals. At the end of the year, a closing ceremony was held in Tokyo, where the fair archives were archived to CD-ROM, blessed by a Shinto priest and put in a time capsule.
