World wide web
Twas born today in '73 (I think)

No, that's much too early.  See, for example,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web, which points out that the
Web wasn't even a gleam in Berners-Lee's eye until 1980 or so and
wasn't a proposal until late 1990.  1993, when CERN set it free, as it
were, would be a more realistic birthdate; the Wikipedia article dates
that to "April 30, 1993", so that may be what you're thinking of.
