World Wide Web Turns 20

Happy 20th Birthday, World Wide Web!

On Aug. 6, 1991, a scientist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) named Tim Berners-Lee unveiled a project for organizing information that he called the World Wide Web. Of the many individual projects that went into creating the Internet as we know it, this was one of the most significant steps toward bringing the Internet to the general public. In honor of the World Wide Web’s 20th birthday party, we’ve dug up some embarrassing baby photos for the occasion.
