Document Summary
Tim berners-lee said he never really had a eureka moment about the. Instead, the idea grew and coalesced over the years. Suppose all of the information stored on computers everywhere was linked. Suppose i could program my computer to create a space in which anything could be linked to anything (berger"s-lee, 1999) The first website was built at the european organization for nuclear. It was put on line on august 6th, 1991. The idea was to exchange charts and other graphic data more easily by using a computer program that interpreted text and pictures in one window. It was originally developed for scientists to collaborate on high-energy physics projects as they worked at different universities and institutes all over the world. But berners-lee believed it could also be useful for all kinds of communication. We won"t cover it too much because you read a whole chapter about it in the shallows.
