March 12, 2019 marks thirty years of the World Wide Web (WWW). The WWW is the network of online content. Since the creation of the WWW, the world has completely changed. Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of this system, originally created the WWW because he recognized the inefficiencies and connection issues of the 1990s. Once his idea was approved, it became a reality. After fostering the WWW, Berners-Lee also created URLs, HTTP, and HTML. Now, we celebrate the benefits of the web and Berners-Lee’s inventions.
