Happy WWW! Before 25 years at 6 August 1991, the world's first website appeared from a workshop in the Swiss Alps. The first page was created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the World Wide Web (WWW), and displayed information on the project World Wide Web.
The world's first website, run by one computer NeXT at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and it still exists if anyone wants to visit it two decades after its creation.
The address of the first WWW site is located in a CERN domain and you can visit it from the following link:

World Wide Web
The WorldWideWeb (W3) is a wide-area hypermedia information retrieval initiative aimed at giving universal access to a large universe of documents.
Berners-Lee mentions on the Hypertext Protocol page Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and describes how information and data travel between computer systems. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) if the language used to create the first web page.
The World Wide Web was written on a NeXT computer, the company founded by Steve Jobs when 1985 was expelled from Apple.
"We bought a cool one machine, the NeXT computer,” Berners-Lee said two years ago during an interview at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
“NeXT was a machine by Steve Jobs, created when he was kicked out of Apple…. it had a great environment for developers. "
The site came online for 6 on 1991 August XNUMX. At that time, Berners-Lee had a note at the front of the NeXT computer that said:
“This machine is a server. DO NOT shut it down ”.
Let us mention that when Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web, his idea was simply to create a tool for scientists where they can easily find and share information.
The Web has since become the most powerful means of transmitting information to the world for knowledge, communications, commerce and other use you can imagine.
Last month, Berners-Lee, 61, now regretted his invention, saying that the Internet has now become "the world's largest surveillance network."
