The unlikely photo that kickstarted the social internet
In 1989, Silvano de Gennaro, a computer scientist at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland, decided to start a music festival that still runs to this day. He called it the CERN Hardronic Festival and invited the CERN community to get up on stage and showcase their talents. Little did he know that his festival would lead to the creation of a girl group whose picture would be the first personal photograph to be uploaded to the web.
