15. The Invention of the Internet (Public Debut – 1990s)
In 1989, British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee proposed the World Wide Web to facilitate information sharing at CERN. By 1991, the first website was launched, and in 1993, the Web was released into the public domain, making it freely accessible. This innovation revolutionized communication, business, and culture globally, continuing to impact how information and societies function.
