The evolution of the World Wide Web

By Kelly Manzi

The idea of the World Wide Web is credited to Tim Berners-Lee…

He wanted the World Wide Web to be a global information system that can be accessed by anyone.

However, there are other similar ideas..

FTP, Gopher, and TelNet are shown.They are different ways to access a server over the internet

Paul Otlet 1868-1944

•Created the Universal Classification System

•Created the Mundaneum, a building to store index cards with information about books

•He imagined that users would be able to view documents on a screen at home

…at a time when there weren’t even televisions or computers!!!

“Everything in the universe, and everything of man, would be registered at a distance as it was produced. In this way a moving image of the world will be established, a true mirror of his memory.From a distance, everyone will be able to read text, enlarged and limited to the desired subject, projected on an individual screen. In this way, everyone from his armchair will be able to contemplate creation, as a whole or in certain of its parts.” - Paul Otlet

Coined the term “hypertext” in 1965 Mythological idea called Xanadu

that would publish information in hypertext and make links between related documents

Ted Nelson 1937 -

Doug Engelbart 1925-2013
