- Tim Berners-Lee
released the initial HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)
protocols which will become the World Wide Web."Information
Management: A Proposal" written by Tim BL is circulated
for comments at CERN (TBL). Paper "HyperText and CERN"
produced as background. The dream behind the Web is of a common
information space in which we communicate by sharing information.
Its universality is essential: the fact that a hypertext link
can point to anything, be it personal, local or global, be it
draft or highly polished. There was a second part of the dream,
too, dependent on the Web being so generally used that it became
a realistic mirror (or in fact the primary embodiment) of the
ways in which we work and play and socialize. That was that once
the state of our interactions was on line, we could then use
computers to help us analyze it, make sense of what we are doing,
where we individually fit in, and how we can better work together.
