Tim Berners-Lee in front of Internet owners in the era of information over
Abstract
The web is so present in today's society that the web is identified with the Internet and has become synonymous, but in 1989 this was not the case. During the twenty years prior to 1989, when the Web was born, a group of scientists from various countries, mainly the United States, had developed the foundations of the Internet. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Internet allowed communication by e-mail, downloading files (FTP) or even remote control of a computer via the Telnet protocol. Over time, the World Wide Web has taken over all these services and more. This article analyses the origin and principles on which the Web was created, how large companies have taken over its domain and the efforts of its creator in recent years to explain to the world that another way of generating and sharing knowledge is not only possible, but desirable.
