 History and evolution of the Web

The Web is an idea that was built on the Internet. Physical connections are on the Internet, but
introduces a number of new ideas, inheriting the existing ones.

It began in early 1990 in Switzerland at the research center CERN (Center of Studies for Nuclear
Research) and the idea was Tim Berners-Lee, who was conceived by observing a notebook he used
to add and maintain references to how they worked computers at CERN.

Before the Web, how to get data from the Internet was chaotic: there were countless possible ways
and thus had to learn multiple programs and operating systems. The Web introduces a fundamental
concept: the possibility of universal reading, which is that once the information is available, can be
accessed from any computer, from any country, any authorized person, using one simple program.
To make this possible, a number of concepts are used, the best known is the hypertext.

Web novice users could have a tremendous power to find and access the wealth of information
located in computation systems worldwide.

This fact alone took a tremendous breakthrough Internet, such a big momentum in 1993 World
Wide Web grew a surprising 341000%, three years later, in 1996, still is doubling every 50 days.
