The man who invented the web as we know it today has disclosed his is regretting the addition of slashes at the web addresses. The name of the inventor is sir Tim Berners-Lee admitted that using forward slashes is a waste of time and paper.

Slashes seemed like a good idea at the time since it was a convention of computer programming back in 1990. A majority of current web browsers add those automatically so only the WWW and the rest of the domain is needed. The remarks were made following a question by a New York Times reporter of anything he would like to alter if he had the chance. There are a few other oddities that remain from the early day of the web, and we’ll have to wait and see if this one stays for good.
