The life of modern man is unthinkable without the Internet.

Date of birth of the world wide web is considered to be 12 March 1989.

On this day, the Englishman Timothy Berners-Lee invited the leadership of the European Council for nuclear research (CERN), where he worked on the internal network of the organization, the concept of hypertext project.

The project involves the creation of a database of documents, linked by hyperlinks that would facilitate the search and consolidation of information for employees of CERN: “Imagine that all links in the document associated with the network addresses of the objects to which they refer. While reading a document you can navigate to the desired object with one click”.

To implement the proposed ideas, the team of Tim Berners-Lee invented the IDs, URLS, HTTP and HTML technologies on which modern Internet.

In honor of the round anniversary of the world wide web Tim Berners-Lee published an open letter to all users of the Network. In it, he reflects on the prospects for the development of the Internet and work on mistakes: “Although the Network has created opportunities, giving a voice to small groups of people and facilitating our daily lives, it has also created opportunities for fraud, giving a voice to those who spread hatred, and simplified commit all kinds of crimes.”
