Dotcom celebrates 25th anniversary

Per the Telegraph:

On March 15 1985, a Massachusetts-based computer make named Symbolics added dotcom to its name. It was followed by Bbn.com and Think.com.

The market for dotcom would not grow significantly for another few years – that year only six dotcom names were registered, compared to the 100,000 now registered every day. In 2008, Google's crawler indexed its trillionth page.

1985 was the first time I wrote a term paper on a computer.
