The First Uploaded Image
Back in 2017, it was estimated that an average of 1.8 billion photos were uploaded to social media every day. But what was the very first photo ever uploaded to the World Wide Web? In fact, the first image to ever grace the internet was the one above.
The year was 1992, and Tim Berners-Lee and his team were busy developing the World Wide Web. After updating the platform to support photos, the team decided to test it out with a picture of Les Horribles Cernettes, a comedy rock band based. The image itself was snapped by an IT specialist backstage at one of the band’s shows.
