Sir Tim Berners-Lee launched the world's first website went live the public on August 6, 1991. It completed 25 years ago in online on Saturday.
This website, located at http://info.cern.ch, contains a basic text page with hyperlinked words that connected to other pages.
There are some basic instructions for how the web worked, including how to access documents and set up your own server. CERN reinstated the page at its original address in 2013.
Berners-Lee used the public launch to outline his plan for
the service, which would come to dominate life in the twenty-first century.
"The WWW project merges the techniques of information retrieval and hypertext to make an easy but powerful global information system," said Berners-Lee on the world's first public website. "The project started with the philosophy that much academic information should be freely available to anyone," Berners said.
Berners-Lee wanted the World Wide Web to be a place where people could share information across the world through documents and links navigated with a simple search function.
The first step to make that a reality occurred on August 6, 1991, and was hailed with little fanfare when Berners Lee launched the first web page from his NeXT computer at CERN's headquarters in Geneva, according to news agencies.
