I used to think that websit technologies had been there for hundreds of years,,,,but i never knew our last born is almost older to www invention.

Btw, someone invented email, another website...i still believe Nigerian should research into another...

Even if you can't name the inventor of the
World Wide Web ( It's Tim Berners-Lee!),
you'll probably want to celebrate one of
the information network's most important
milestones. On August 6, 1991 -- 21 years
ago -- Berners-Lee published the world's
first website from a lab in the Swiss Alps.
So Happy 21st Birthday, WWW! Have a
drink on us. As our friends over at
HuffPost UK point out, the world's first
website can still be visited today, more
than two decades after its creation.
The site, originally found at the clunky URL
"http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/
TheProject.html," was updated frequently
after launching; therefore, images of its
earliest versions were never saved.
Nevertheless, a later copy from 1992 is still
preserved and welcoming visitors.
The bare-bones website was created,
appropriately, to explain the World Wide
Web to newcomers. "The WorldWideWeb
(W3) is a wide-area hypermedia
information retrieval initiative aiming to
give universal access to a large universe of
documents," the site reads, going on to
explain how others can create their own
webpages.
You can see what the site looks like below
(or just click the link here).
Berners-Lee first proposed his idea for a
worldwide network of computers sharing
information in 1989, while he was
working at the European Organization for
Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva,
Switzerland. According CERN's history of
the first website, it was written on a NeXT
computer (pictured below), made by the
company Steve Jobs founded after his
ouster from Apple back in 1985.
The NeXT computer used by Tim Berners-
Lee in 1990 to create the world's first
website.
Berners-Lee's site went live in 1991, and
was accessed by a decidedly small
audience of fellow CERN researchers. It
wasn't until 1993, when web browser
Mosaic was released, that the Web took
off, as Wired explained last year.
During the opening ceremony of the 2012
Olympics, the inventor of the World Wide
Web was honored with a musical number
and an appearance in London's Olympic
Stadium . However, Meredith Viera,
commentating for NBC in the U.S.,
admitted she didn't know who the British
Internet pioneer was. (Kind of
embarrassing, no?) But maybe she'll take a
moment to honor the first website, now
that she knows.
