ORIGINS OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB ============================= FACTUAL REFERENCE The World Wide Web was created at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee as a system for linking and retrieving information across networked computers. The architecture joined several ideas that now feel ordinary: globally addressable documents, links between them, a transfer protocol, a document format and client/server software. The early Web did not replace the Internet. It was an application built on top of Internet networking, alongside services such as email, FTP, Usenet and Gopher. This matters to the Nitetime argument because "the Internet" has never required one interface. A feed is one interface among many, not the natural final form of networked communication.
