Institutions cards protect your side, and come back strong when you're losing.
The site, in 1996
A year-long world's fair held on the internet, with a central site linking to national pavilions and themed exhibits.
Organised by Carl Malamud's Internet Multicasting Service, it was the first world's fair not held in one place. Japan, Sweden, Singapore and six more countries took part, and at the end its archives went on CD-ROM into a Tokyo time capsule, blessed by a Shinto priest.
In 1996: Ran from 1 January to the end of the year, opening officially in Washington on 8 February; 24 Hours in Cyberspace was its featured event.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
