<p>I blogged <a href="https://michaeljaylissner.com/posts/2007/12/28/firefox-last-modified-tip/">a while back</a> about a Firefox command that would tell you the last modified date of the page you were looking at, and it got me thinking&#8230;.what is the age of the Internet on the&nbsp;whole?</p> <p>I&#8217;ve been thinking about it a bit, and it seems like knowing this kind of information could prove pretty useful for certain circles. If there was a way to summarize the last modified date of every page on the Internet, we could pretty easily figure out how useful the information&nbsp;is. </p> <p>Firefox&nbsp;add-on? </p>

<p>On October 24, 1995, the Federal Networking Council met and decided that the &#8220;Internet&#8221; refers to the global information system&nbsp;that:</p> <ol> <li>is logically linked together by a globally unique address space based on the Internet Protocol (<span class="caps">IP</span>) or its subsequent&nbsp;extensions/follow-ons;</li> <li>is able to support communications using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (<span class="caps">TCP</span>/<span class="caps">IP</span>) suite or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons, and/or other <span class="caps">IP</span>-compatible protocols;&nbsp;and</li> <li>provides, uses or makes accessible, either publicly or privately, high level services layered on the communications and related infrastructure described&nbsp;herein.</li> </ol> <p>Oh. Thanks for&nbsp;that.</p>
