English computer scientist Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee also known as TimBL, makes public the files describing his concept and ideas for the World Wide Web (WWW) including the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) system and announces WWW as a publicly available service on the internet. He created a page titled "World Wide Web", featuring links to additional pages with information on himself, his team of scientists and the history of the project. It is these links which represented the web's real breakthrough. The website’s landing page described the World Wide Web (WWW) as "a wide-area hypermedia information retrieval initiative with the aim of giving universal access to a large universe of documents." Today, we know it as just the web. More
