The web has come a long way in 35 years since the first website went live.π€―
On this day in 1991, CERN published the first website, a project page for the World Wide Web. It was a basic page with one font, no images, and a handful of blue hyperlinks. From there, websites grew into full multimedia experiences with photos, animations, video embeds, and eventually the mobile-first designs we scroll through today.
Now AI assistants are changing how we navigate the web entirely, surfacing answers before we even click a link.
The web isn't going anywhere. It just keeps getting harder to remember what it looked like before.
Take a click back through time and visit the first website on the web: https://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
