Who Developed The World Wide Web {www}?
The World Wide Web (commonly referred to as “the web”) was developed at CERN (Switzerland) by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991. However, its history can be traced back to 1980, when Berners-Lee built as a sort of prototype. It was quite different, but had the same core ideas as the web. Its basic function was to be an information management system. Berners-Lee never gave up on his vision and kept developing it further and further until its final stage as the World Wide Web in 1991. On the 30th of April, 1993, CERN announced that the web would be available free of cost to everyone. Today, Tim Berners-Lee is the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium [W3C]. The World Wide Web is often mistaken to be just another name for the internet, but it actually is a global information space. It is available through the internet, like other internet services such as e-mail etc.
