		</div><p>March 12 marks a significant milestone in British technology with the 30th anniversary of the World Wide Web.</p>
<p>In 1989, working at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, Sir Tim Berners-Lee submitted a proposal for information management that would go on to transform the way people communicate and consume information.</p>
<p>Here are some interesting facts about the World Wide Web:</p>
<p><strong>– The World Wide Web was developed out of frustration</strong></p>
<p>Sir Tim invented the World Wide Web because he was frustrated to have to constantly log on to a different computer every time he wanted to access different information not on his main computer.</p>
<p><strong>– ‘Vague but exciting’</strong></p>
<p>Sir Tim’s boss at CERN, Mike Sendall, left three short but powerful words when he first received the proposal paper for the World Wide Web: “Vague but exciting.”</p>
<p>At the end, he simply said: “And now?”</p>
<p><strong>– The World Wide Web is not the same as the internet</strong></p>
<p>The World Wide Web and the internet are wrongly confused as the same thing – something Sir Tim is quick to correct people on.</p>
<p>The internet, which is a network of networks formed of computers, existed long before the World Wide Web.</p>
<p>WWW is the transfer of information, whether it be text, documents or other rich content like videos.</p>
<p><strong>– The World Wide Web was almost called something completely different</strong></p>
<p>Sir Tim considered a number of name options before settling on World Wide Web.</p>

<p>Among the contenders were Mine of Information, The Information Mine and Information Mesh.</p>
<p><strong>– The first website just explained what the World Wide Web was</strong></p>
<p>The first web page, defining what the Web is, did not go live until August 6, 1991.</p>
<p>A copy of it can still be viewed today: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html</p>
<p><strong>– The first web browser was also called WorldWideWeb</strong></p>
<p>Years before the Internet Explorer, Sir Tim also created the first web browser, which went by the same name, WorldWideWeb.</p>
<p><strong>– You can still see how the Web looked originally</strong></p>

<p>Developers and designers at CERN recently rebuilt the original browser, allowing people to experience the World Wide Web as it was first intended.</p>
<p>Anyone can try the browser out by visiting https://worldwideweb.cern.ch.</p>
