  info.cern.ch - the website of the world's first-ever web server
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is where it all began in March 1989.
A physicist, Tim Berners-Lee, wrote a proposal for information management showing how information could be transferred easily over the Internet by using hypertext, the now familiar point-and-click system of navigating through information.
The idea was to connect hypertext with the Internet and personal computers, thereby having a single information network to help CERN physicists share all the computer-stored information at the laboratory.
