Why, when, and who invented the internet?
according to Tim Berners-Lee, he had a big idea in mind when he and Robert Cailliau invented the Web: a "common information space in which we communicate by sharing information."
However, at the time, Berners-Lee and Cailliau had a more immediate goal: to make it easier for nuclear physics researchers to share information.
Both men worked for the CERN physics research facility and wrote independent proposals for a hypertext system to help researchers communicate. And you can still read Tim Berners-Lee's original proposal to his boss at the time, Mike Sendall.
Berners-Lee and Cailliau joined forces and wrote a joint proposal for the "WorldWideWeb” system, justifying it as a single simple interface to all of the information systems used by researchers at CERN and elsewhere.
