Our online life started with this thought:

Suppose all the information stored on computers everywhere were linked. Suppose I could program my computer to create a space in which everything could be linked to everything. – Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the World Wide Web.

The World Wide Web (WWW), invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee, turned turned 30 years (1989-2019…) earlier this year on March 12.
The idea which envisioned a “universal linked Information System” practically gave birth to the interconnected online world we live in and make use of today.

The goal was to create a place where any information (graphics, audio & video) can be found and accessed on many platforms (desktop, mobile, etc.)
