Detailed explanation-2: -On 6 August 1991, the World Wide Web went live to the world. There was no fanfare in the global press. In fact, most people around the world didn’t even know what the Internet was. Even if they did, the revolution the Web ushered in was still but a twinkle in Tim Berners-Lee’s eye.

Detailed explanation-3: -On April 30, 1993, four years after publishing a proposal for “an idea of linked information systems, ” computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee released the source code for the world’s first web browser and editor.

Detailed explanation-4: -Where the Web was born. Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989, while working at CERN. The Web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.

Detailed explanation-5: -The pre-Web Internet was an almost entirely text-based world. There were ASCII-based end-user programs such as gopher, which let you use a menu to search through organized collections of files.
