Tim Berners-Lee publishes the proposal for the World Wide Web

In March 1989 Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist at CERN, submitted a proposal titled *"Information Management: A Proposal"* to his supervisor Mike Sendall, who described it as "vague but exciting". The proposal outlined a distributed hypertext system linking documents across machines. By 1991 the first website was live at info.cern.ch. The web became publicly available without royalties in April 1993 and transformed how humanity accesses information.
