The birth of the web. Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist at CERN, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989. The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automatic information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.
The first web browser ever written was called WorldWideWeb, and it was created by a man named Tim Berners-Lee. While this was the very first web browser, it was not widely used, and was only available for the NeXT platform. The first widely-used web browser was Mosaic by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina at the NCSA at the University of Illinois.
