CERN

One of the most interesting things I learned at CERN was the origin of the World Wide Web. The WWW was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 while he was working at CERN. Although scientists working with CERN typically spent some time on site, they usually worked at universities and national laboratories in their home countries. Tim’s goal was to develop an easy method for these particle physicists from all over the world to exchange information. Since the Web plays such an important role in today’s society, it was really cool to see where it first began.

    It amazing to think how inventions, like the internet, that were made for a specific purpose ended up being used in ways the inventors could never imagine.

    I am very happy the World Wide Web was invented for all of us to stay connected and communicate. Today's society would be lost without the World Wide Web!
