It is Tuesday 12th of March which happens to be the anniversary of the World Wide Web. A 30 years anniversary!
The World Wide Web (also known as the web or WWW) was invented by Tim Berners-Lees. He wrote the new information management system which would connect documents held across mutiple computers at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) where Tim Berners-Lees worked as a contractor. A note from his supervisor, written across the document, read 'Vague but exciting'.
...Little did they know that this invention would transform the world's economy and society. Can you think of a time that you are not on the internet?
It took some time to create the invention after it was thought of - A year and a half before the name was known. Then it was months before the public could access it. Though it wasn't any like the modern web pages which you see today. As you can see from the photo on the left, web pages only really featured words. They were no images or animation to start with.
The world's first website was published on the 30th April 1993 and was featuring information on the project known as 'WWW' - The internet itself.

The modern internet has grown so much since 30 years ago. Now we can instantly stream any film you want to watch as well as telling either Google, Siri or Alexa to do searches for you.
What is the World Wide Web?
The Web is a network of online content which is formatted in HyperText Markup Language (or HTML for short) and accessed in a form called HyperText Transfer Protocol. The inventor - Tim Bernes-Lees, developed all of this software as well as the Universal Resource Locators (URL). He did all of that development on a £5,000 computer which was affectionately called The Cube due to the black case.
