World Wide Web hits 20 years
Date: 13-Mar-09
Author: CERN
Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee returned to the birthplace of his invention on 13 March 2009, twenty years after submitting his paper 'Information Management: A Proposal' to his boss Mike Sendall.
By writing the words 'Vague, but exciting' on the document's cover, and giving Berners-Lee the go-ahead to continue, Sendall was signing into existence the information revolution of our times: the World Wide Web.
In September of the following year, Berners-Lee took delivery of a computer called a NeXT cube, and by December the Web was up and running, albeit between just a couple of computers at CERN.
