Last Saturday, the first website ever celebrated its birthday and turned 20. Congratulations!

On 13 November 1990, the physicist Tim Berners-Lee from the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN in Switzerland released the website info.cern.ch.

Take a look at the original page!

How was the aim of this project defined? “The WorldWideWeb (W3) is a wide-areahypermedia information retrieval initiative aiming to give universal access to a large universe of documents.”

According to worldwidewebsize, the web contains at least 2.95 billion pages by now – speaking about a large universe of documents! That is an impressive growth rate, right?
