The world's first website went online 25 years ago (Dec 20,1990 - Dec 20,2015)

Invented by Tim Berners Lee, the first website went live at research lab CERN in 1990 

Created by 60-year-old British computer scientist Tim Berners Lee  in 1990, while he was a researcher at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), the website still exists today.

The site's address is info.cern.ch, and provides information about the world wide web - the platform that sits on top of the Internet, where documents and pages on the Internet can be accessed by URLs, and connected to each other via hyperlinks
