Jules Verne wrote about a story in which men travel millions of miles to the center of the Earth. The professor and his nephew start their journey from a Volcano in Iceland and travel across to the Earth to Italy. They overcome several hurdles such as prehistoric animals, natural hazards etc. From Scientific standpoint the story doesn't hold good.

In November 1945 when Tim Berners Lee started a project based on hypertext while he was a contractor at CERN. The aim of this project was to communicate within the CERN between various scientists.

In 1989, he proposed a global hypertext project, to be known as the World Wide Web. Based on the earlier "Enquire" work, it was designed to allow people to work together by combining their knowledge in a web of hypertext documents. He wrote the first World Wide Web server, "httpd", and the first client, "WorldWideWeb" a what-you-see-is-what-you-get hypertext browser/editor which ran in the NeXTStep environment.
