At CERN Tim and his colleagues develop a hypertext markup language (HTML) and uniform resource locator (URL) giving life to the first steps into the World Wide Web. Only a year later the internet comes to life in 1995. With its creation many websites that are used to this day were born such as: Amazon, Yahoo, and ebay all started. -
