Happy 30th birthday, World Wide Web. Inventor outlines plan to combat hacking, hate speech

Tim Berners-Lee submitted a proposal with title “Information Management” 30 years ago to his bosses at the European physics laboratory CERN. This proposal to keep track of large projects would eventually turn into the World Wide Web. Taken from a USA Today article:

 

“Thirty years ago, an English software engineer submitted a “vague, but exciting” proposal to his boss about a system for managing information that would later be known as the World Wide Web. 

 

Tim Berners-Lee was in his early 30s when he submitted the idea at work, a physics laboratory in Switzerland. He wasn’t hired to create a worldwide communication system. He simply came up with the idea because he noticed inefficiencies at work. 

 

“I found it frustrating that in those days, there was different information on different computers, but you had to log on to different computers to get at it … So finding out how things worked was really difficult,” he said.”
