Hi Steve Naranjo!

Good question, if you get to the very next video in the course, I answer that question and tell you a little about the guy who invented it, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. There are also some good links under the video you might want to check out.

The first website ever to be preserved for future generations and the history of the web. Check it out at http://info.cern.ch/

It started in 1989 when Sir Tim Burners created the World Wide Web.

Steve;

Great question! Take a look at this Wiki-Pedia article and see if it answers some of your questions.

If you have more I am sure Joy Kesten has some great resources as well on the history and origins of The World Wide Web.

Happy coding,

Ken
