## Times are changing {id=times-are-changing}
No one really knows one way or the other—it's an unprecedented situation. And yet, somehow, we have to deal with it. A virus is spreading, and suddenly the whole world is barricading itself behind windows and front doors. Clearly, we are talking about the coronavirus pandemic and the accompanying lockdown. Schools were also closed for a long time during this period, with homeschooling replacing face-to-face teaching. For some, the internet was still uncharted territory, while for others, this new reality created unexpected opportunities (including in terms of time). I was one of them - at the time in seventh grade at a Bavarian high school.
No one really knows one way or the other - it's an unprecedented situation. And yet, somehow, we have to deal with it. A virus is spreading, and suddenly the whole world is barricading itself behind its windows and front doors. Clearly, we are talking about the COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying lockdown(s). Schools in Germany were also closed for a long time during this period, with homeschooling replacing face-to-face teaching. For some, the internet was still new territory (”Neuland”, as some famous female german chancellor once said), while for others, this new reality created unexpected opportunities (including in terms of free time). I was one of the latter - at the time in seventh grade at a Bavarian high school.
## The Project {id=the-project}
In the subject NuT, which combines physics and computer science, there was an extensive assignment: after studying graphs and the Internet as a huge network that can be represented as graphs, it was time to put theory into practice. The goal: to build a website using HTML (and CSS) in order to better understand how the World Wide Web (WWW) works as a whole—the name was quite telling: “**Project WWW**.”

“Great! Finally, I get to do something at school that I'm really interested in anyway,” or something like that, I thought at the time. In any case, I immediately got to work with a classmate (I don't remember exactly how immediately), we thought about the structure, wrote poems, collected pictures, and looked up definitions. I was mainly responsible for the technical stuff, while he was more responsible for the content and supervision.
