In 1989 the world’s largest physics laboratory, CERN, was a hive of ideas and information stored on multiple incompatible computers. Sir Tim Berners-Lee envisioned a unifying structure for linking information across different computers, and wrote a proposal in March 1989 called “Information Management: A Proposal“.
By 1991 this vision of universal connectivity had become the World Wide Web.
To celebrate 30 years since Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s proposal and to kick-start a series of celebrations worldwide, CERN hosted a 30th Anniversary event in the morning of 12 March 2019 in partnership with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and with the World Wide Web Foundation. Later in the day the Science Museum in London, the home of the original NeXT Computer used by Sir Tim to design the World Wide Web, ran a second event, also in partnership with the World Wide Web Foundation.
Sir Tim spoke at both events, and both will be restreamed in full today Wednesday 13 March on the Internet Society Livestream Channel, starting at 09:00 EDT (13:00 UTC).
