Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989-1990 while working at CERN as a way to share research over the internet. The web uses hypertext documents that can contain text, images, videos and other media and are accessed via browsers. It allows for simultaneous transfer of text and graphics using communication protocols running on standard networking infrastructure and markup languages to render pages.
