How did the world wide web originate?

Answer 1

Tim Berners-Lee, an independent contractor for European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) built a personal database of people and software models called ENQUIRE. Each new page of info on ENQUIRE had to be linked to an existing page, with developing hypertext. He wrote a proposal in 1989 for a large hypertext database with typed links to share information with physicists around the world without the need for a common machine. Despite a relative lack of interest in his project, he developed its name, World Wide Web. He acquired a partner, Robert Cailliau who wrote a successful proposal seeking resources within CERN. By December, 1990, Berners-Lee had built all the tools needed for a working web.
