Tim Berners-Lee's Proposal
Berners-Lee, a physicist researcher at the European High-Energy Particle Physics lab- CERN, Switzerland, wrote the proposal called HyperText and CERN, to enable collaboration between physicists and other researchers in the high energy physics research community. Three new technologies were incorporated: HyperText Markup Language (HTML), HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), and a web browser client software program. His proposal also included a very important concept for the user interface. -
Proposal put into practice
The concept developed only two years back was put into practice on a limited network at CERN. There was only one server at CERN. -

Marc Andreesen and his team develop Mosaic
Marc Andreesen, an undergraduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaigne, and his team, while working on a National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), developed another graphic user interface browser they named Mosaic. The graphic user interface (GUI) popularized the user and fueled the growth of the world wide web to bring it to the point where it is today. -
