The World Wide Web was invented by a relatively unknown computer scientist named Tim Berners-Lee. A software consultant at the European organisation for Nuclear Research, Berners-Lee presented his supervisor with a proposal in 1989 outlining ideas for an electronic document exchange programme. This proposal would enable scientific papers to be read on a variety of otherwise incompatible computer systems.

Initially, his superiors were not interested, but Berners-Lee persisted. When he was able to achieve the first successful communication between an HTP client and a server using the internet (which is actually different to the world wide web) on 25 December 1990 that he finally gained the interest, and the support, to see his proposal put into action.
