fastcompany: A webpage dating back to 1991 has been unearthed, after a plea from CERN to send in files, software and URLs from the web’s earliest days.What are your earliest memories of the web? What site did you first visit? How old were you? What browser were you on? My first memory of using the World Wide Web (WWW) occurred somewhere between 1992 and 1996. So imprecise a date, I am astonished! I recall vividly where I made “contact”. Contact was made from my office PC computer in the second new Business Studies building at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. I used Gopher or Mosaic to view the pizza menu at a pizza delivery store in some town in the USA. That moment was my ‘eureka!’ moment. If I could find such trivial information from half way around the world, then I saw that access to any information would become possible.I recall using the WWW usefully only when I purchased my first Mac computer, a laptop color screen 5390(?) around 1995-6. Then I used Netscape. I was an early deployer of WebCT, a learning management system, LMS, in my Massey University course Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship, ICE. I must credit my postgraduate student Peter Koziol for setting up the WebCT LMS. By 2000, I was a heavy user of the Blackboard LMS at Unitec Institute of Technology. Now I use Moodle.My first experience using a computer in a WWW-like manner occurred whilst employed in New Zealand’s national physics and engineering laboratory, PEL. I created and deployed a software application used by my clients to conduct strategic planning studies for the New Zealand Dairy Products processing industry. Using the DSIR Computer Network I could use a rudimentary email service with my clients. This was implemented simply by setting up a text file that would automatically display to my addressee when they logged in to the computer network we shared. That was over the period 1978-2002.

The National-led Government has been “charged” with ecocide for passing a law which watered down New Zealand’s obligations to reduce carbon emissions.

The final reading of a bill which amended the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) drew impassioned speeches from MPs, in particular Green Party climate change spokesman Kennedy Graham.

Dr Graham levelled mock criminal charges at the Prime Minister and Minister for Climate Change.

“I charge the leaders of this Government with the moral crime of ecocide. I trust that in due course that they stand accountable before the children of this world, the children of John Key, the grandchildren of Tim Groser and mine.”

He went further: “The leaders of this government … are committing us to purgatory and thence to hell. Purgatory is the next decade, and hell the decade after.”

Ecocide, the environmental equivalent of genocide, has been written into domestic law in 10 countries and related to serious, lasting damage to ecosystems.

Dr Graham argued that it was daft to remove agriculture - which produced nearly half of New Zealand’s emissions - from the ETS while polar ice caps were melting rapidly.
….
MP Maurice Williamson told off the Speaker for not intervening: “When a member gets up and lays a charge of ecocide and you’re asking us to sit here and tolerate that, Sir? I find that offensive.”
