Who Invented The World Wide Web?

Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989 after he was awarded a PhD from Oxford University.

Who invented the world wide web

He developed an algorithm that could process HTML documents and create hyperlinks between pages on his personal website—a simple way for computer users around the world to interact with each other through text messages or email addresses instead of having to send each other floppy disks via mail orders or faxes (this was before smartphones).

The first web browser was released in 1993 by Marc Andreessen who wanted people like him who liked computers but didn’t know how it worked so badly that he could help them out by making sure everyone had access through whatever device they wanted: “When I created Mosaic 1.0,” he said later on record about his creation process . . .

The Idea Was To Share Information In Real Time

The idea was to share information in real-time. The reason for this is simple: people who were interested in a topic would be able to find each other and talk about it.

While working at CERN, Berners-Lee proposed a system for information management

Berners-Lee was working at CERN, a European research organization that promotes collaboration between scientists from many countries. He proposed a system for information management using hypertext and the internet. In his proposal, he described how users could link together sections of documents and share them with other users without having to transfer large amounts of data.

This idea was similar to what we now know as the World Wide Web (or “the web”), but it wasn’t until 1989 that Berners-Lee published his first paper on the subject in CERN’s scientific journal Communications of the ACM: “Information Management: The Berners-Lee Design.”

By 1990, Berners-Lee had a working version of the web

By 1990, Berners-Lee had a working version of the web. He knew that it would be important to get as many people using it as possible, so he published his first paper on the subject in 1991.

In 1992, Berners-Lee met Tim Berners-Lee (the inventor) at CERN in Geneva and showed him his prototype browser called WorldWideWeb: The Visual Age Computer Networking System (VACNS).

Berners-Lee made his creation available free for everybody via the Internet in 1991

In 1991, Berners-Lee made the web available free for everybody via the Internet. He did this by inventing a new protocol for communicating with computers called HTTP (HyperText Transport Protocol). It’s still used today and is what allows you to do everything from search for things on Google or Wikipedia to watch videos on YouTube or read articles on BuzzFeed.
