First Internet Web Site - Awesome

While some people may think the Internet was invented by Al Gore, I have to disappoint them. Actually when most people think of the Internet, what they really mean is the World-Wide-Web, that small universe that you can access with Internet Explorer or Firefox or Safari. And that World-Wide-Web was invented by a scientist If there was one site that would change the world for ever, it would be the first ever website, created by internet pioneer Tim Berners-Lee.

It went online on 6 August 1991 offering people help with using the brand new ‘World Wide Web’, rather modestly described as a “wide-area hypermedia information retrieval initiative aiming to give universal access to a large universe of documents”. It’s now archived at www.tinyurl.com/3apuu.

If Berners-Lee had known what was to come, he might have added: “This is going to be awesome!”

Check out that website. It is just the neatest thing to see how the World Wide Web started out from the office of a researcher in Switzerland.
