The World Wide Web turns 30 today—the perfect occasion for a Google Doodle
The World Wide Web turns 30 today -- the perfect occasion for a Google Doodle.
We tend to use the terms"Web" and"Internet" pretty interchangeably these days . But they're really two different things. The internet is the network of connections between computers, smartphones, and appliances like connected refrigerators and thermostats. The World Wide Web is an application, built using the hypertext transfer protocol to transfer data and the Hypertext Markup Language code to create Web pages and content.
And on March 12, 1989, software engineer Tim Berners-Lee submitted a proposal that laid out the very basics of how that user interface would work. In the blandly-titled"Information Management: A Proposal," Berners-Lee described a database using hypertext links to help researchers at the CERN nuclear physics laboratory in Switzerland share documents more easily.
Berners-Lee spent the next two years developing HTTP, HTML, and the first Web browser and webpage editor, WorldWideWeb.app. By 1991, the Web had launched, making the internet a thing laypeople could easily figure out how to use. 30 years later, the World Wide Web has profoundly reshaped our culture; it's such an ever-present part of modern life that it's hard to break its impact down into specific terms.
