No, the dates above are not a total lifespan. The web hasn't died. I found this timeline entitled The Evolution of the Web quite fascinating, and beautifully constructed and coloured.
Looking back to 1994/5, when I first used the Mosaic browser and then later migrated across to Netscape, I was a little surprised to see the degree to which the heart of the web technology was developed in the early years, and that most of what has followed is "bells and whistles".
Interestingly, there's quite a cluster of developments shown in 2008-11 but I wonder, with the benefit of hindsight in ten years' time, how many of them will feature as important long-term.
[By the way, the AdMastery blog is now almost ready for relaunch].
