The Birth of the WWW

The World Wide Web (WWW) was born in 1989 by British scientist Tim Berners-Lee
while working at CERN, the European Nuclear Research Agency. Originally, the Web was
designed and developed to meet the demand for automated exchange of information between
scientists at universities and institutes around the world. CERN is the center of an extensive
community of over 17,000 scientists from more than 100 countries. Even though these scientists
spend some time on CERN's website, they usually work in universities and national laboratories
in their countries of origin. Reliable communication tools are therefore necessary.

In March 1989, Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first proposal to create the World Wide Web.
In November 1990 he collaborated with the Belgian Systems Engineer, CERN's colleague, Robert
Cailliau, and submitted the proposal to the CERN administration. By the end of the same year he
had set up the first server and the first browser on a NeXT computer.

http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html was the first website address.

In 1991, Berners-Lee released the WWW software and in March of the same year it was
made available to colleagues at CERN using computers. In August 1991, he announced the
WWW software in the Internet newsgroups and interest in the project spread across the globe.

Thanks to WWW's invention people from around the world can communicate with each
 other and exchange information. So this invention became popular and we cannot imagine our
everyday life without using the Web!
