The World Wide Web turns 30
The invention of British physicist Tim Berners-Lee at the European Center of Nuclear Research is a fundamental part of daily life, accompanies us on the mobile phone and is essential for areas such as education, medicine, security and even entertainment
In March 1989, specifically on the 12th, there was one of the most important technological discoveries. It is the WWW created by British physicist Tim Berners-Lee at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN in French).
Today, the invention of this physicist is part of daily life of the common citizen. Accompanies us at home, at our workplace and, even, it is a main tool in various areas, such as medicine, education, research and security, among others.
Since its invention, the World Wide Web has suffered attacks, criticisms, advances and improvements. It is associated with such common concepts like cybersecurity, hackers, fake news, social networks, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, smart contracts, video calls, Email, 4.0 net and much more.
The network revolutionized human relationships by eliminating barriers to communication as well as how to share the knowledge in an automated way.
The WWW opened the door to technological advancement in the world by means of new advances that are currently fundamental pillars for science, economics, finance, national security, education, human mobility, communication, health and well-being.
There are still pending matters, such as the protection of personal data of users, launching new browsers or creating applications and platforms useful to humanity, such as Facebook, Wikipedia, Hotmail or Google.
Berners-Lee, creator of the network of networks, trusts that through joint efforts of researchers, governments and entrepreneurs achieve new advances in automated connectivity.
