Wake Up to the Laser Alarm Clock


The laser alarm clock is a new invention that truly challenges you to get out of bed in the morning. To switch it off, you are required to sit up in bed, aim carefully with a battery-powered laser pistol that is sold with the alarm clock, and hit the target that sits on top of the clock.
Until you hit the target, the alarm clock continues to ring.

By the time you have succeeded, say the clock’s designers, you should be well awake and well-prepared for the rest of the day!

world's first-ever web site

Info.cern.ch was the address of the world's first-ever web site and web server, running on a NeXT computer at CERN. The first web page address was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html, which centred on information regarding the WWW project. Visitors could learn more about hypertext, technical details for creating their own webpage, and even an explanation on how to search the Web for information. There are no screenshots of this original page and, in any case, changes were made daily to the information available on the page as the WWW project developed.
