:: Tim Berners-Lee
:: NeXT Cube with NeXTSTEP
:: HTML - Hyperlinks - Documents [lots of docs]
:: a working network
:: World Wide Web::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The story began in Switzerland in 1990 at CERN. Tim had a lot of documents he wanted to share with other researchers around the world. So he invented HTML, HTTP and the WorlWideWeb [ first Browser / Editor ever ]. All that with the help of a NeXT Cube machine, probably in greyscale mode... There's one photograph of Tim with a NeXT Cube attached to a color monitor somewhere on the MatriX, so he eventually upgraded at least his graphic card...
He was ingaged since 1980 in the hypertext language. That's when he first devised a program to handle documents with links to other dicuments. But it was just an experiment untill 1990. Is this making any sense? I wonder.
Anyway he eventually invented something that will be a primary source for knowledge. And a lot more, not just that. The WWW allows communication in ways that humans only dreamed about before. No examples needed, it's too obvious.
