Today the web turned 20.
Here's an excerpt from the Geneva, Switzerland, located CERN (Centre Européen de Recherche Nucléaire or European Organization! for Nuclear Research, who would have guessed the translation :D):
Twenty years ago this month, something happened at CERN that would change the world forever: Tim Berners-Lee handed a document to his supervisor Mike Sendall entitled "Information Management : a Proposal". "Vague, but exciting" is how Mike described it, and he gave Tim the nod to take his proposal forward. The following year, the World Wide Web was born.
