World Wide Web celebrates its 20th birthday

 
This NeXT Computer used by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN became the first web server

 
It began as a simple page of links that allowed a group of scientists to share data in the confines of their laboratories.
But in the 20 years since, it has become an inextricable part of the lives of billions of people.
The World Wide Web (WWW) was born on August 6, 1991, when the first web page was launched on the internet by Sir Tim Berners-Lee.

The London-born physicist and computer scientist was working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva when he sought to find a better way for his colleagues to link up.

From us(Internet addicts) to you(Inventors) we say Thank you and Happy birthday.....
without you, i wouldnt be doing this right now
