GENEVA (AP) - The World Wide Web turned 20 over the weekend. Did you send a card? The inventor of the Web marked the occasion this past Friday by encouraging fellow scientists to look to the future. Tim Berners-Lee says the rate of development and innovation on the World Wide Web "is actually getting faster and faster all the time." He says the use of the Internet to share photos and other
data is "just the tip of the iceberg."
Berners-Lee said he wasn't sure when exactly he wrote his first proposal for using the Internet to allow physicists to browse from page to page, share
images and click on links to access other sites -- what turned out to be the World Wide Web. He notes it was the establishment of the Internet which had already been running more than 15 years that made his vision for the Web come to fruition.
