1989, an employee of the European Organization for Nucleur Research (CERN), asked himself a very mundane question: "How are we ever going to maintain an overview of our work?"
The solution Berners-Lee came up with created the model of a server, browser and hypertext links. In 1989, he presented an application to his boss, Mike Sendall, who read though the suggestions and commented on them on the title page of the application - "vague, but exciting"
The World Wide Web became international, when Mike Sendall granted money for the development of the "Web", as named by Tim Berners-Lee. 3 months later the first web server was launched on the CERN network. The first WWW functioned only on NEXT computer systems. Later othercomputer scientists started writing programs for making browsers compatible with other computer systems. By 1993, there were already 50 web servers.
