here's something pretty interesting i came across while mindlessly surfing the net.
the very first server and of course with that, the very first web site "running on a NeXT computer at CERN."
this of course came the very first web page address :
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
the creators behind it?....Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau.
"The idea was to connect hypertext with the Internet and personal computers, thereby having a single information network to help CERN physicists share all the computer-stored information at the laboratory. Hypertext would enable users to browse easily between texts on web pages using links. The first examples were developed on NeXT computers.
Berners-Lee created a browser-editor with the goal of developing a tool to make the Web a creative space to share and edit information and build a common hypertext. What should they call this new browser: The Mine of Information? The Information Mesh? When they settled on a name in May 1990, it was the WorldWideWeb."
you can read the whole history here at CERN's official website:

so i found the beggining of the World Wide Web.......can you find the end???
good luck.
