The Web began with a proposal at CERN

In March 1989, Tim Berners-Lee proposed a system at CERN for sharing information among scientists. His manager, Mike Sendall, wrote on the document: “Vague, but exciting.” The first browser, server, and website were running at CERN by the end of 1990; the Web spread beyond the laboratory in 1991, and on 30 April 1993 CERN placed the Web software in the public domain. These were separate steps: the Internet already existed, and in 1993 CERN opened the Web software for free use.
