World Wide Web main server at CERN, Geneva

World Wide Web server. View of the main server for the World Wide Web (WWW or Web) in the mid- 1990s, seen in the main computer room at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory near Geneva. The Web is a global network of over 10, 000 host computers connected by the Internet. Users of the Web are able to navigate between computers to access data by using a program called a browser. Each site has a server, a computer connected to the Internet which directs users to the documents and data they wish to access. The Web was created at CERN, and started services in 1989. This photo was taken in 1995

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the mid-1990s, offering a rare glimpse into the birthplace of the World Wide Web. Nestled within the main computer room at CERN, Geneva, we find ourselves face-to-face with the very heart of this revolutionary global network. The server before us stands as a testament to human ingenuity and collaboration. The World Wide Web, or WWW for short, connects over 10,000 host computers worldwide through the Internet. It empowers users to effortlessly navigate between these machines using a program called a browser. Each site on this vast web has its own server – an indispensable link that directs users towards their desired documents and data. It is here at CERN that this groundbreaking technology was conceived in 1989 and began its transformative journey across borders and industries. This particular snapshot freezes time in 1995 when the Web had already started shaping our digital landscape but still carried an air of novelty. As we gaze upon this image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days. The humble beginnings depicted here paved the way for countless advancements in business, technology, and computing hardware. Let us cherish this remarkable photograph as a tribute to those who dared to dream big – forever grateful for their contribution to shaping our interconnected world today.
