    In 1991 British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee published the first-ever website while working at CERN, a huge physics lab in Switzerland. Within ten years, sites such as eBay, Amazon and Google had appeared and the Web was changing society by changing how people communicate, shop and get information.

    Berners-Lee was born in 1955 and studied physics at Oxford. While employed at CERN in the 1980s, Berners-Lee noticed how hard it was to keep track of the projects and computer systems of the organization's thousands of researchers, who were spread around the world. As he later stated, “In those days, there was different information on different computers, but you had to log on(登陆)to different computers to get at it. Also, sometimes you had to learn a different program on each computer.”

    In March *, Berners-Lee gave managers at CERN a suggestion for an information management system that linked documents on different computers that were connected to the Internet. In 1990 the Englishman's boss gave him time to work on the project. After first calling the project Information Management, Berners-Lee tried out names such as Mine of Information and Information Mesh before settling on World Wide Web.

    The beginning of the Web as a publicly available(可用的)service on the Internet arrived on August 6, 1991, when Berners-Lee published the first ever website. Fittingly, the site was about the World Wide Web project, describing the Web and how to use it.

    Berners-Lee didn't try to cash in on his invention and turned down CERN's call to patent(申请专利)his Web technology. He wanted the Web to be open and free so it could be used as widely as possible.
