"World Wide Web Born @ CERN"

In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (not to be confused with the internet) while working as a computer scientist at CERN. The web was designed to facilitate the exchange of information between the scientists working on CERN’s experiments, wherever in the world they happened to be. It has since become an indispensable tool for billions of internet users.
