First Website was published 25 years ago. Its creator was Tim Berners-Lee, the British physicist and programmer, then working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN. From today’s point of view, it can be called a visionary. Developed or co-wrote basically all we need today to browse the Internet.
Who invented clicking on links?
Web or ‘extensive global Internet network “was intended to facilitate cooperation the scientists. Berners-Lee from the beginning realized that the essence of the project is the use of hypertext and the Internet together. So allowing for a network in a comfortable way to view data from different, very remote computers. Hypertext is the organization of data, which is built interrelationships and branches. Then the user decides how in the database you want to move. With NASA can go to any American university, and thence to the site European research institute. Briton saw so Internet as a database “dressed” in a graphic form which allows the user to switch between pages by clicking on the links.
Before him, no one in such a way did not understand the Internet. Its history dates back to 1958, when an American agency ARPA (the predecessor of today acting DARPy) developed the first computer network linking the military. Over the next decades grid, connecting ever more powerful computers developed its out in the end in the early 80s began to use it also scientists. No one, however, then looked parties – the internet was used to transfer messages or data.
It is very likely that if not for Tim Berners-Lee Internet could remain a scientific curiosity. Without the Web is in fact a computer running DOS. Briton not only created the first page, but also protocols and other tools, without which servers and computer time can not upload the page content in a manner understandable to the common man. Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) protocol for transferring hypertext documents Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) are created just by a British scientist.
The first web page that CERN scientists saw 20 December 1990 . available “outside” has become the summer of 1991. And this date can be regarded as the beginning of the Internet itself, which we now know it.
The Internet is not a dustbin
Berners-Lee today struggling to leave the Internet free and open. During his stay in the European Parliament in 2009 gave an interview , in which he defends the internet facing its most serious accusation:
“The networks are the most important links. Everything is based on trust that the links are letter to the content of a high standard. If you find something you do not like, go back one page. Do not read what is written there, or content that link to this text. ” – Stwerdził.
He confirmed therefore that the idea of the Internet remains the same: it is a source of information created for users. The Internet is the most important one.
The first web page was certainly the beginning of the revolution. Widely understood access to information would be without the invention simply unattainable. It is difficult to imagine a world without the work of Tim Berners-Lee’a. Thanks largely to him, 40 per cent of the Earth’s population, nearly three billion people using the network.
