In 1990, the first web server and browser was up and running. The world wide web was up!
It was originally developed by British scientist Tim Berners-Lee to help CERN’s 17,000 scientists, spread out over 100 countries, communicate more easily. He developed the code for his Web server on a NeXT computer. To prevent it from being accidentally switched off, the computer had a hand-written label in red ink:
“This machine is a server. DO NOT POWER IT DOWN!!"
The first Web page address, which contained information about the WWW project itself, was…
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
Now anyone with access to a computer or a cell phone can share or access almost any information they can conceive of. It is hard to imagine a world without it.
