Happy Birthday WWW

The web turned 16 today. So that means that when I first started looking for web work back in 1997, the web was ONLY 7 years old, and the first graphical browser that led to web design as a profession was only 4 years old. So the morons who put up web design job postings that required 8+ years of experience didn't know what the hell they were talking about. How can you have 4 years of web design experience when the profession didn't even exist 4 years ago?
