When personal computers were first introduced, they used a complicated command line interface or CLI (think monochrome screens and DOS). This made them unappealing to the general public so not surprisingly in 1975 only 50,000 PC’s were sold. Luckily by the early 1980’s the graphical user interface, or GUI, had replaced the command line interface, instantly making PCs accessible. Now it is estimated that over 300 million PCs are in use in the US alone.
With the introduction of the Apache web server in 1995, developers suddenly had access
to servers that were cheap, powerful and secure. This resulted in millions of websites appearing on the internet and million more users racing online to access them. Personal use of internet literally exploded, with an estimated 2 billion+ people worldwide online today.
The fact is that web servers power the internet, delivering all the web-services we have come to rely upon: from messaging and social networking to gaming, photos, music and videos, there is just so much on offer. But there is a flip side. Not only do we have to install the same apps over and over to different devices, but we are forced to choose between letting someone else manage our digital identity, or juggle a myriad of log-ins, usernames and passwords in order access these services and even our own content. And then there is the spying, monitoring and profiling…
So if web servers are so cheap and powerful and run all these cool services, why don’t we just have our OWN servers and manage our own digital identities, connections to
other websites and online services; all from a single private portal? Surely with a personal web server, we could host our own content, then share and communicate with whomever we want, whenever we want without the limitations imposed by social networks. We could even eliminate all the spying and profiling that goes on every time we go online…
Well, believe it or not the answer is this. Right now, web servers still use a CLI! Unbelievable as it may seem, there is simply NO user-friendly interface for personal web servers. So just like the early PC, they are off-limits to everyone but techies and developers. Until now that is...
Introducing Iconic OS. The world's first, user-friendly, browser-based iconic
interface for personal web servers.
