The Inventor of the WWW
The World Wide Web was invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. It was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.
About this fact
Sir Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist, invented the World Wide Web while working at CERN. His proposal outlined a global hypertext system, and he subsequently developed the first web browser (WorldWideWeb) and web server (CERN httpd). His vision was to create an open, decentralized platform for information sharing, which has since revolutionized communication, commerce, and access to information globally. He deliberately made the core technologies (HTTP, HTML, URLs) royalty-free to ensure their widespread adoption.
