DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS HYPERTEXT ?

It is a text which is not constrained to be linear. Hypertext means that it is a text which contains 'links' to other texts. This term was coined by Ted Nelson around 1965.

HISTORY OF WORLD WIDE WEB ?

The basic idea of the WWW was to merge the evolving technologies of computers, data networks and hypertext into a powerful and easy to use global information system.
Let us tell you that in March 1989, Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first proposal for the WWW and his second proposal in May 1990. In November 1990, together with Robert Cailliu a Belgian systems engineer this system was formalised as a management proposal. In this document a web of hypertext documents could be viewed by browsers. In 1992 the University of Illinois introduced the first web browser, an online search tool that "surfs" all of the information on the Web, locates matches, and then ranks results.
