90's Computer History timeline.

Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web while researching at CERN. He developed HTML (HyperText Markup Language) as a way to share notes and documents with his fellow researchers. Combining HTML with TCP and the domain name system, Berners-Lee said that the creation of the WWW was "an act of desperation" due to the amount of information the researchers shared. Now, sharing information is just a few taps away.

John and Thomas Knoll release Photoshop, the first image editing system. After their product was used to edit scenes in the 1989 movie The Abyss, Adobe Systems licensed and released Photoshop the following year. Photo-editing is now a popular pastime, an artform, and an extremely profitable career path.

NCR Corporation and AT&T Corporation invent WaveLAN, the very first wireless communication system. While the intended use of WaveLAN was to allow cashier systems to communicate wirelessly, NCR and AT&T are now credited with the invention of WiFi. It would take another 8 years for WiFi to become widely used by consumers.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page develop the Google search engine (then, 'Backrub') at Stanford University with the help of Scott Hassan and Alan Steremberg. Two years later, Brin and Page would launch what would become the World Wide Web's most used search engine. Google is now arguably the most powerful tool we can carry in our pockets.

James T. Russell develops the CD-RW (Compact Disc ReWriteable). This allowed users to write and re-write data onto CD's up to 1000 times. Ordinary people could easily back up their own data, share digital albums and "burn" their own playlists.

Dave Hampton's Furby is released and then sold out in toy stores. The Furby source code was written in assembly language for the 6502 microprocessor, and gave the impression of "learning" as the Furby slowly transitioned from speaking "Furbish" to English to longer the user played. The toy's simple yet interactive technology was one of the first to gain such popularity, and had a lasting effect on the toy industry.
