invention of the world wide web

A very smart man named Tim Berners Lee invented the world wide web. Work on the web started in 1990. It became available with CERN in December. By the summer of 1992, the internet became available to everyone. To this day, it is the fastest growing phenomenon ever. In 1992, there were only 50 web pages available on the internet. He decided to name it the world wide web because it was like a web connecting the different parts of the world. However, the web Lee invented was not very user friendly. A 23 year old college student invented Netscape, a web browser. This skyrocketed the use of the web.
