<p>"On 12 November 1990 [Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau] published a formal proposal outlining principal concepts and defining important terms behind the web. The document described a "hypertext project" called "WorldWideWeb" in which a "web" of "hypertext documents" could be viewed by “browsers”."</p><p><a href="https://home.cern/science/computing/where-web-was-born" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="home.cern/science/computing/where-web-was-born"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">home.cern/science/computing/wh</span><span class="invisible">ere-web-was-born</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.w3.org/Proposal.html" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>www.w3.org/Proposal.html</a></p><p><a href="/tags/worldwideweb/" rel="tag">#WorldWideWeb</a> <a href="/tags/hypertextproject/" rel="tag">#HypertextProject</a> <a href="/tags/theweb/" rel="tag">#TheWeb</a> <a href="/tags/internet/" rel="tag">#internet</a> <a href="/tags/techhistory/" rel="tag">#TechHistory</a> <a href="/tags/technology/" rel="tag">#technology</a> <a href="/tags/onthisday/" rel="tag">#OnThisDay</a> <a href="/tags/otd/" rel="tag">#OTD</a></p>
<p>"In the beginning, the Web was simple. When I first encountered it in early 1993 (working for O'Reilly's Global Network Navigator[...]), there was only one browser for viewing web pages and it ran exclusively on the Unix platform. There were about a dozen tags that made any difference. Designing a web page was a relatively simple task."</p><p><a href="https://cybercultural.com/p/1993-global-network-navigator/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="cybercultural.com/p/1993-global-network-navigator/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cybercultural.com/p/1993-globa</span><span class="invisible">l-network-navigator/</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/internet/" rel="tag">#internet</a> <a href="/tags/theweb/" rel="tag">#TheWeb</a> <a href="/tags/cyberculture/" rel="tag">#cyberculture</a> <a href="/tags/technology/" rel="tag">#technology</a> <a href="/tags/essay/" rel="tag">#essay</a></p>
