While we can’t live without it today, it wasn’t that long ago when we were first introduced to the World Wide Web. It was on this day in 1991 that Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee introduced the world to his invention. Back in 1978, Berners-Lee helped to create a type-setting software for printers. In 1980, he proposed a concept for hypertext as a way to share and update information among researchers called “Enquire.” He later took what he learned from Enquire and developed an editor called WorldWideWeb in 1990. The first web site was built was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html, which centred on information regarding the WWW project. Visitors could learn more about hypertext, technical details for creating their own webpage, and even an explanation on how to search the Web for information. Today, he is a director of the Web Science Research Initiative and a member of the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.
