WHERE THE WEB WAS BORN

In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee, a young scientist working at CERN, created the HYPERTEXT to allow better comunication among scientists who were working on different projects.

With the help of Robert Caillou and a small team he created the HTML, http, URLs, the first Server, the first browser and the first html editor.

When the CERN decided allow the free distribution of the Web its progress was unstoppable.

From one Server in the early 90´s it has surpassed 45 million today.

It's time for a new "Web": GRID.

An online survey conducted by the CNN news group ranks the World Wide Web as the most wonderful of the seven modern wonders of the world.

The World Wide Web won with a whopping 50 per cent of the votes (3,665 votes). The runner up was CERN again, with 16 per cent of voters (1130 votes) casting the ballot in favour of the CERN particle accelerator.

Stepping into place behind CERN and CERN is 'None of the Above' with 8 per cent of the votes (611 votes), followed by the development of Dubai (7%), the bionic arm (7%), China's Three Gorges Damn (5%), The Channel Tunnel (4%), and France's Millau viaduct (3%).
