AP Success - AP European History: World Wide Web

In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee, a computer scientist, submitted a proposal for what would become the World Wide Web.
We should work toward a universal linked information system, in which generality and portability are more important than fancy graphics techniques and complex extra facilities. The aim would be to allow a place to be found for any information or reference which one felt was important, and a way of finding it afterwards. The result should be sufficiently attractive to use that it the information contained would grow past a critical threshold, so that the usefulness the scheme would in turn encourage its increased use. The passing of this threshold accelerated by allowing large existing databases to be linked together and with new ones.
Tim Berners-Lee, "Information Management: A Proposal," March 1989
