Birth of the Web:
The World Wide Web (WWW) was invented in 1989
by British computer scientist Tim Berners-
Lee. Berners-Lee was working at CERN when he
first proposed the idea for the web in March
1989. The web was created to allow scientists to
share information automatically between
universities and institutes around the world.
Berners-Lee wrote a proposal for the web in March
1989 and a second proposal in May 1990. In
November 1990, he and Belgian systems engineer
Robert Cailliau formalized the proposal into a
management proposal. This proposal outlined the
main concepts and defined important terms
behind the web.

switching, forwarding, or routing of
telecommunications traffic to or from the
facilities of an information services provider.
Information access can also be defined as the
right to seek, receive, and impart information
held by public bodies.
