World Wide Web turns 25(March 12,1989 - March 12,2014)



British engineer and computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee, now Director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), wrote a proposal in March 1989 for what would finally become the World Wide Web.


British engineer and computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee presented the paper on March 12, 1989, the day universally marked as the birth of the WWW.


On April 30, 1993, CERN, a European research organisation near Geneva, announced that the World Wide Web would be free, with no fees due

A NeXT Computer was used by Berners-Lee as the world's first web server and also to write the first web browser WorldWideWeb in 1990.

Berners-Lee uploaded the first photo on the Web in 1992. 

A turning point in the history of the the World Wide Web began with the launch of the Mosaic web browser in 1993. It was a graphical browser developed by a team at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois. Mosaic is the web browser credited with popularising the World Wide Web.
