The First Browsers…
• By December 1990 Tim had joined forces with another physicist Robert Cailliau who rewrote Tim's original
proposal. It was their vision to combine hypertext with the internet to create web pages, but no one at that
time could appreciate how successful this idea could be.
• Despite little interest, Berners Lee
continued to develop three major
components for the web; HTTP, HTML
and the world first web browser. Funnily
enough, this browser was also called "the
World Wide Web" and it also doubled as
an editor.
