jan 1, 1989 - Tim Berners-Lee Creates WWW

Description:

At CERN, the European Physical Laboratory, Tim Berners-Lee creates the World Wide Web. Robert Cailliau is a key proponent of the project and helps Berners-Lee author a proposal for funding. Later, Cailliau develops, along with Nicola Pellow, the first web browser for the Mac OS operating system. WWW makes the web browsing experience we currently have possible, by allowing people to enter links which direct them to HTML documents (and other things but my point stands).
