History of The Web - The virtual Revolution

The virtual revolution went through the history of the web. It explained how the ideas of the web started in San Fransisco in the early 1960's. The idea came from hippie culture and values. They wanted to freewill to say what they wanted and believed in libertarianism, which means rejecting state control and rebelling. With the web their would be no ownership and a free flow of information at all times.


This lead to the first email being born in 1965, this was due to something called the intranet which meant that computers to connect to each other locally, however computers from all over the world could not connect, this was due to them not having a common language until HTML was created.

Bill Gates Microsoft company was created in 1975. This then lead to the first web community called the well which was creating in 1985 in San Fransisco. In 1991 on August 6th, Tim BernesLee released web software.
