Wacky WorldTech history
The world’s first commercial Internet domain name, symbolics.com, was registered on March 15, 1985, by Symbolics Inc., a computer systems manufacturer based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Symbolics pioneered early Lisp machines and workstation computing. When the company went bankrupt in the 1990s, the historic domain was acquired in 2009 by an investment group, making it the oldest continuously operational .com domain on the World Wide Web.
