Happy Birthday, Web
This weekend (through the Christmas holiday, depending on how you interpret it) marks the 15th birthday of the World Wide Web. 
Both the concept of hypertext and the Internet had been around for a long time, but on November 12th, 1990 Tim Berners-Lee wrote a formal proposal for the World Wide Web to his employers at the CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) particle physics lab. On November 13th he wrote the first draft of a web page.
During the Christmas holiday of that year, Sir Tim (he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 2004) built all of the tools necessary for a working web, including a web server and a web browser. In August of 1991 a web server at CERN was put on the Internet.
