@ heather – You’re right, kinda. Mr. Lee was a scientist that worked for a government (CERN), so if by military you meant that, then you’re right. Governments are always looking for ways to transmit messages without potential enemies knowing. They have used codes, code breakers and even languages like Navajo to transmit messages, Internet was later, after less of a use for such methods of transmission.

If you want, there’s more information on this subject in our Introduction Guide.

The World Wide Web (www) was originally developed in 1989 by a scientist named Tim Berners-Lee of CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), based in Switzerland. He is an Oxford grad and got the idea for the Internet because he was frustrated that his telephone numbers, paper documents and addresses were not all easily accessible in one convenient database location.

On April 30, 1993, the CERN directors officially signed the document that made the Internet free for everyone.

Hope this helps!
