How did Cern help to create the Web?
In 1980, while working at Cern, Tim Berners-Lee wrote a program for storing information using random associations, which he called Enquire. This formed the conceptual basis for the global hypertext project which Berners-Lee proposed in 1989, to be known as the World Wide Web. WorldWideWeb was also the name of the hypertext browser that Berners-Lee created, along with the initial specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML.
