1 Tim Berners-Lee was famous for his research in physics before he invented the World Wide Web. Answer: FALSE Locate. 2 The original intention of the Web was to help manage one extremely complex project. Answer: TRUE Locate. 3 Tim Berners-Lee has also been active in politics. Answer: NOT GIVEN.
Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, while working at CERN. The Web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.
The first website at CERN – and in the world – was dedicated to the World Wide Web project itself and was hosted on Berners-Lee's NeXT computer. In 2013, CERN launched a project to restore this first ever website: info.cern.ch. On 30 April 1993, CERN put the World Wide Web software in the public domain.
Tim Berners-Lee, CERN March 1989, May 1990. This proposal concerns the management of general information about accelerators and experiments at CERN. It discusses the problems of loss of information about complex evolving systems and derives a solution based on a distributed hypertext system.
This video summarises in 3 minutes how the Web was invented at CERN by British physicist and IT expert Tim Berners Lee in 1989, and how it grew to become what it is today thanks to CERN’s decision in 1993 to keep it as an open standard for everyone to use.
