Marking 30 Years Of The Web, Tim Berners-Lee Calls For A joint Fight Against Disinformation
The inventor of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, has published an open letter to mark the 30th anniversary of the day — March 12, 1989 — when he submitted his original proposal for an information management system that went on to underpin the birth of online services.
The proposal, dubbed “vague but exciting” by his boss at the time, married hypertext with Internet TCP and domain name system ideas. Berners-Lee also had to design and build a web browser and put together the first web server. The first website was put up a couple of years later, running on a NeXT computer at CERN, where Berners-Lee had worked.
The rest, as they say, is internet history.
- It’s hard to believe that the internet has only been around for only 30 years… I’m sure when Tim Berners-Lee created he would of had no idea how this would change our lives. My dad was still writing & creating blogs at 80 years of age…
- Lately, Tim Berners-Lee has not been happy in the direction the internets moving… he launched a series of public interventions, warning especially about corporate capture of the online sphere. He wants to break the grip of the dominant digital Players… Once Genie it’s impossible to put it back…
- He’s not all Doom & Gloom for Berners-Lee also writings positively the web has become “a public square, a library, a doctor’s office, a shop, a school, a design studio, an office, a cinema, a bank, and so much more.”..
