Well, it could take a lot longer.  The early history of the web is
fascinating, to say nothing of how graphical browsers created an
explosion of interest in the internet.  You could easily whittle
away the whole meeting on this stuff.  

My vote would be to skip this stuff, maybe give a URL or two and
go to the technical stuff, since once a person is connected [and
even running a server] they can find their way to this info [maybe
...].

One suggestion:
WWW FAQ, http://sunsite.unc.edu/boutell/faq/www_faq.html
