This day 30 years ago, the World Wide Web was born

Today (March 12), the world celebrates an important event affecting all humanity when this day 30 years ago, the World Wide Web (www) was born.

World Wide Web was invented by academy academician Tim Berners-Lee, an expert at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland on March 12, 1989.

The World Wide Web, or Web or WWW for short, is a global information space where people can access (read and write) information through devices connected to the Internet; An Internet-based information system allows documents to be linked to other documents with hypertext links, allowing users to search for information by moving from one document to another.

Tim Berners-Lee - the inventor of the World Wide Web.

The World Wide Web is often misunderstood as a synonym for the Internet term itself. But the World Wide Web is actually just one of the services running on the Internet.

The World Wide Web started out as just a CERN internal communication project, but Berners-Lee realized the idea could be implemented on a global scale. Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau, his colleague at CERN proposed in 1990 to use hypertext to link and access information as a network of buttons in which users can browse information at will.
