This Week in Marketing History
Today is June 15th! This week in 1955 Tim Berners-Lee was born in London, England. Tim Berners-Lee is an engineer and computer scientist and he’s most well known for inventing the world wide web. In 1989 while working at CERN (most people are familiar with CERN thanks to their large-hadron collider which slams subatomic particles together at incredibly high speeds in an attempt to unlock the mysteries of our universe) Berners-Lee proposed a project that would combine the concept of hypertext (text displayed on a computer that hyperlinks to other text that is immediately accessible) with the internet. This idea was the genesis of the world wide web. Berners-Lee would go on to publish the very first web site on December 20, 1990.
