A Short History of the Internet Cafe

Monday, November 27. 2006

Before you enjoy chatting and surfing the wide, wired world known as the Internet in your favorite establishment, it would be nice to know a little history about Internet cafes. Internet cafes (or the ones popularly known in your swanky urban neighborhood as cybercafes) actually started in the United Kingdom in 1994 during a symposium dubbed as "Towards the Aesthetic of the Future."

A man named Ivan Pope was tasked to conceptualize a booth that will exhibit technological application in contemporary Britain. What he made was an ingenious concept of a room filled with tables or cells where people can use computers that are connected to the Web. And as they say, the rest was history.
