Did CERN invent the internet?
was HyperText Mark-up Language, or HTML. This was due to Tim Berners-Lee, a British physicist; he happened to be working at CERN at the time but HTML had nothing to do with his work there which was on elementary particles. CERN did not invent the internet or the World-Wide-Web. The internet had been operating for some years before HTML was developed, and when it was the credit goes entirely to Tim Berners-Lee.
