The World Wide Web Is 25 Years Old Today by nairarules: 12:03pm On Aug 06, 2016
On this day 25 years ago, August 6, 1991, the world’s first website went live to the public from a lab in the Swiss Alps.
So Happy 25th Birthday, WWW! It’s the Silver Jubilee of the world’s first website.

The site was created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the World Wide Web (WWW), and was dedicated to information on the World Wide Web project.

The world’s first website, which ran on a NeXT computer at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), can still be visited today, more than two decades after its creation.

The first website address is

http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html.

Berners-Lee wrote about the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) that outlined how information or data would travel between computer systems, as well as, HyperText Markup Language (HTML) that was used to create the first web page.
