The World Wide Web (WWW) was invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 while he was working at CERN, the European physics research center in Switzerland. Berners-Lee's goal was to create a way for scientists to easily share and access information from anywhere in the world, and he developed the technology for the WWW while working on a project to manage CERN's vast amount of data. With the help of his colleague, Robert Cailliau, Berners-Lee developed the first web browser and server, and he released the first website in 1991.
