The Birth of the Web: Unveiling the World's First Website by Tim Berners-Lee

  The world's first website, recognized as the "CERN information server," was initiated by Tim Berners-Lee on August 6, 1991. This site, which resided on a NeXT computer at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research), was designed to introduce the World Wide Web and hypertext systems. It offered valuable information regarding the project, instructions on crafting web pages, and access to the inaugural web browser/editor. The website's URL was "http://info.cern.ch." This groundbreaking platform played a pivotal role in establishing the framework for today's World Wide Web, revolutionizing the way global information is disseminated and accessed. Tim Berners-Lee's invention marked a historic moment in internet history.
