25 years since the creation of the first Internet page in the world

Near the Swiss city of Geneva there is a nuclear research center. There researchers are using atomic particle accelerators. They are round tubes, all 27 kilometers long and located 100 meters underground. By using this large device, researchers accelerate very minute atomic particles at a very high speed so that these particles collide with each other to extract new particles that can be used in many fields, including for medical purposes and in order to reveal the secrets of the world.

The first website on the Internet

To this center many researchers of all nationalities come to do their research on this device, and then they go to their countries and evaluate the information they have collected. British physicist and programmer Tim Berners-Lee was tasked in the 1960s with tidying up the chaos in the center's computers, whether it was the networks connecting them, their drivers, or their data. In his book "Web Report", which is a "report on the Internet", he says that researchers, after they were at that time going to their countries, had a great need to communicate with each other, "Just as each country has a different timeline from the time in the other country, In addition, they speak different languages.

Tim Berners-Lee has connected them all into one network. Today, he says, "everything was there in principle. What I did was pair the devices." The result was the launch of the world's first web page or website, and it was from Switzerland at this research centre. 25 years ago, on December 20, 1990, Tim Berners-Lee launched the world's first website: info.cern.ch in Switzerland.

Internet addresses

According to Bernhard Roelder, director of the Digital Internet Association "Bitcom", 86 percent of companies - which employ more than ten people - have their own pages on the Internet, while companies, industrial and small commercial stores that employ less than 10 employees, 43 percent of them have their pages. on the Internet. He adds: "Around the world there are three billion people who use the Internet. Even ordinary people also own their pages on the Internet," not just companies and stores.

As for Internet addresses, the most famous suffix is ​​".com", which has 120 million pages, followed by the German ".de" with 16 million websites. At the end of 2013, more website suffixes were allowed in the Internet, including attractive and regular ones, and their number has become more than a thousand. Common suffixes include: .pizza, .ninja, and .kiwi. In Germany there are also those who prefer local suffixes, as there are 69,000 email addresses with the suffix “.berlin”, 25,000 websites with the suffix “.koeln” and more than 31 thousand with the suffix “Bavaria” .bayern and 23 thousand with the suffix “. Hamburg.

The Internet... the embodiment of the life we ​​live

What Tim Berners-Lee started in the 1960s with that simple page has become a giant industry today. For example, in Germany, the general public has been using the Internet for 14 years, and 80% of the people use the Internet. In 1994, Tim Berners-Lee founded the Web Consortium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. He was asked at the moment if he is disappointed with the extent to which the Internet is now commercial, and he does not see it as such, but says: “The Internet should be a global space. No sphere can be excluded or excluded. A lot of people ask me if I'm disappointed that there is a lot of nonsense and useless talk on the Internet, but I say: No one is obligated to read everything on the Internet. The Internet as a whole is the embodiment and reflection of the life we ​​live."
