On 6 August 1991, exactly twenty years ago, the World Wide Web became publicly available.
Its creator, the now internationally known Tim Berners-Lee, published the first Web page and gave birth to a new technology which would fundamentally change the world as we knew it. The World Wide Web has its foundation in work that Berners-Lee did in the 1980s at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. He had been looking for a way for physicists to share information around the world without all using the same types of hardware and software. This culminated in his 1989 paper proposing ‘A large hypertext database with typed links’.
