Blast From the Past
Written by Chad on July 26th, 2007World-wide Web (WWW)
WWW was developed as a hypertext system at the Center for Nuclear Energy Research (CERN) in Geneva. It allows links with and between WWW documents and, like Gopher, provides access to other Internet resources and navigation tools. Although much admired by many in the Internet community for the elegance of its design, WWW has not proliferated as has Gopher, in part because WWW services are more complex to create and maintain, and in part because security restrictions at CERN restricted Internet access.
From Navigating the Internet, 1993.
