On March 15, 1985, symbolics.com became the first-ever registered Internet domain. Three years later there were about 100. But today, after 27 years of ever-expanding growth, the number of registered domains is more than 220 million. There are now more devices connected to the Internet than people in the world. Visit the symbolics.com Web site for wonderfully awesome charts and facts about the Internet. My tie celebrates the day with a montage of URLs and other Internet "symbolics."
