Today is a very important day in the history of computing – and really, the worl itself – as it marks the 25th anniversary of the public gaining access to the WorldWide Web. Wait, haven’t we already celebrated this? Not quite. Computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee spent the better part of the ‘80s developing a personal database of people and software while working at CERN. In March of 1989, he wrote a proposal for something called "a universal linked information system" that would ultimately become the World Wide Web. Some consider that to be the true “birthday” of the World Wide Web although it wouldn’t be opened to the public until a couple of years later – August 23, 1991, to be exact.
