Q21 (IAS/2007) Science & Technology ā€ŗ ICT, AI, Cybersecurity & Emerging Tech ā€ŗ Internet and web technologies Answer Verified

Who among the following is considered as the inventor of the World Wide Web (WWW)?

Result
Your answer: ā€”  Ā·  Correct: C
Explanation

The World Wide Web was invented by British scientist Tim Bernersā€‘Lee while working at CERN in 1989. CERNā€™s official history explicitly credits Bernersā€‘Lee with conceiving the Web to enable automated informationā€‘sharing among scientists and notes his implementation of core technologies (HTML, HTTP, URLs) plus the first Web server and browser. Bernersā€‘Leeā€™s original March 1989 proposal, ā€œInformation Management: A Proposal,ā€ and its later refinements formally described the system that became the Web; these documents are preserved in Web and CERN archives and by standards bodies [1]. Therefore option 3 (Time/Tim Bernersā€‘Lee) is the correct answer.
