FIRST-WEBSITE, FIRST-WEB-ADDRESS AND FIRST SERVER - a key point in the history of digital communications

WHO...?


Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist at CERN, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989. The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automatic information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.


THIS IS...........
 The first web page address was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext


WHERE............!
The world's first ever website and server, info.cern.ch, ran on a NeXT computer at CERN.




The world's first web server, Tim Berners-Lee's NeXT machine at CERN. The hand-written sticker reads: "This machine is a server. DO NOT POWER DOWN!" (Image: CERN)

Around Twenty-one years ago , physicists at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in California installed the first web server outside of Europe. The move marked the beginning of the global reach of the World Wide Web, a key point in the history of digital communications.
