Happy Birthday WWW! 25 years ago on August 6, 1991, the world's first website appeared from a laboratory in the Swiss Alps. The front page was created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, his father World Wide Web (WWW), and displayed information about the World Wide Web project.
The world's first website, ran from a NeXT computer at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and 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 the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) page and describes how information travels and data 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 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."
