On November 13, 1990, the British scientist Tim Berners-Lee published the world's first web page. It contained information about what the technology of the World Wide Web. It is noteworthy that for its creation a scientist from the United Kingdom used a regular personal computer NeXT - a model of the company that Steve Jobs founded after his departure from Apple.

Berners-Lee is rightly considered the founding father of the Internet - while working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), he proposed the very concept of the "World Wide Web" and invented a way to access hypertext data, the principles of which lie in modern Internet access.

Initially, the scientist was developing computer applications for scientific laboratories and processing of official data, and the Enquire program, which he wrote, was intended for the exchange of scientific information within the organization. To exchange data, scientists used the already available TCP / IP protocol, rooted in the US military network ARPANET. Nobody took Berners-Lee's initiative seriously, so the scientist tried his own developments on a personal computer: he created the world's first web server, browser and page editor. The modern standard of writing URL addresses (URL) is also one of its developments.
