On August 6, 1991, the first-ever website was born. It was the creation of Tim Berners-Lee, a British physicist in charge of the massive project of creating the World Wide Web. That first website was simple by our modern standards: it showed an outline of his project, and some tips to readers on how to make their own web pages. (The website address? http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html -- still in use today.)
