How The World Wide Web Was Born From A Physics Problem

from Tech History with Fexingo: Stories of Silicon Valley, Pioneers, and Industry Origins · host Fexingo

In October 2026, we look back at the moment a physicist named Tim Berners-Lee solved a simple information retrieval problem at CERN by inventing the World Wide Web. This episode explores how three specific technologies—HTML, HTTP, and URLs—combined to create the modern internet, moving from a local intranet for physicists to the global network we use daily. We examine the original code, the decision to keep it free and open-source, and why that single choice fundamentally reshaped the global economy. #WorldWideWeb #TimBernersLee #CERNHistory #HTMLOrigin #HTTPProtocol #URLStructure #TechHistory #InternetOrigins #OpenSource #InformationRetrieval #ComputerScience #DigitalEconomy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechInnovation #WebStandards #CodingHistory #KnowledgeManagement Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
