THE HISTORY OF COMPUTERS 4

4. THE WORLD WIDE WEB

In Switzerland, you can find CERN. It is not the type of laboratory that produces practical inventions. But there, in 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. In 1980 Tim got a job at CERN for six months, and during this time he wrote a program called "Enquire Within".This name comes from a popular British book. Tim's program aimed to organize his thoughts in the same way that the book organizes information.He wanted to find a way to create links among a wide variety of topycs that interested him. Within this program Tim could made electronic connections between documents.
A hypertext is a special kind of text that is intended to give more freedom to the reader. It contains links that take you to other places.
