Attached: 1 image On March 12, 1989, Tim Berners-Lee submitted a proposal for an information management system to his boss at CERN. “Vague but exciting” was his feedback. The project later became the World Wide Web. Thank you, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, for changing the world! #TimBL #WWW #LPI #CERN #worldwideweb #tech #technology #IT

Should we celebrate?

      Gotta correct you there. The internet has its roots in the 1970s Arpanet (and maybe even earlier projects). You’re thinking of the World Wide Web (Webpages, HTML, HTTP) that came with Tim-Berners Lee but is built upon the pre-existing internet structures and services.

    I remember when Thomas called me to show me something new: like Gopher, but with hypertext. And I have been on the original web server, Tim Barners-Lee’s NeXT cube.
