The 25th anniversary of the WWW!

The World Wide Web ("WWW") is a global information medium which users can read and write via computers connected to the Internet. It is often mistakenly used as a synonym for the Internet, but the Web is a service that operates on the Internet.

The March 12, 1989, British researcher Tim Berners Lee, who worked in a laboratory at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research), imagined a way to easily access files from networked computers. To do this, described in a report the protocol for transferring hypertext, which a year later would be the World Wide Web.

A Berners Lee is known as the father of the web but he didn't invent the Internet. 

Tim described the 'Web': it is much more complex because it becomes a web of information that is linked by hyperlinks. Whenever, on your PC, you click on an underlined word, leading you to another page, you are using one of those connections.

At first, the system was designed to solve a problem that was detected at CERN in Geneva. However, after 25 years, the 'web' has changed the life on the planet, the way we communicate, access information and perform transactions.

In a recent statement, Tim has been very critical of the espionage activities of governments like the U.S. or UK: ' it is time to move forward for freedom of the Network '.
