The World Wide Web

             It's hard to imagine today what life was like without the internet; with out ever leaving your house you can talk to someone all the way on the other side of the world, order clothes and other materials from stores hundreds of miles away, even pay your bills without ever licking a stamp. Tim Berners-Lee is recognized as having created the World Wide Web while he was a researcher at the European High-Energy Particle Physics lab, the Conseil Europeenne pour la Recherché Nucleaire (CERN), in Geneva, Switzerland.
             Tim Berners-Lee wanted a way for physicists and other researchers in the high energy physics community to communicate. Since he had a background in text processing, communications, and real-time software he decided to write a proposal, called HyperText and CERN, which he distributed for comments at CERN in 1989. Tim believed HyperText and CERN would solve the problems regarding communication. Tim Berners-Lee's proposal was an expansion of the gopher idea, but he incorporated many new ideas and features.
             The proposal was further polished by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau in 1990, with the concept of hypertext and some of Ted Nelson's work on Xanadu. Three new technologies were included into his proposal; .
             .
             The first one was HTML (HyperText Markup Language) it was used to write the web documents, the second was HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) to transmit the pages, and finally a web browser client software program to receive and interpret data and display results. An important concept of his proposal incorporated the fact that the client software program's user interface would be dependable across all types of computer platforms so that users could access information from many type of computers. .
             A line-mode user interface, World Wide Web or www (named at CERN), was completed in late 1989. May 1991 was the first time that the information-sharing system using HTML, HTTP, and a client software program (www) was fully ready to go using the multiplatform computer network at the CERN laboratories in Switzerland.
