American History 1988

``` Debt, economic decline, immigration; hippies, anti-government, freedom. At the end of the 1980s, a wave of change encompassed a country boy from the Rust Belt. As the gate for upward mobility was on the verge of closing, he struggled to move forward. College, Silicon Valley, entrepreneurship; HP, Apple, Microsoft. To become part of the 1%, or even 0.1%, he sacrificed a lot, but also gained a lot. ```

Chapter 257: I Am Their Shareholder

The concept of the World Wide Web was born in 1989 when Berners Lee submitted an information proposal to the European nuclear agency.

He suggested developing their own software tool to facilitate the personnel within the agency to use computer resources more efficiently.

The nuclear research institute should develop its own software tool for use within Europe and to connect to the network in North America.

Before 1989, North America had been using the internet for quite a long time, but Europe did not have a corresponding mature network environment.

The personnel of the research institute expressed dissatisfaction and an urgent mood about being unable to communicate electronically with their North American colleagues.

For this reason, Berners Lee's boss agreed to this plan and gave him a certain budget to support it.

In the beginning, Berners Lee only focused on "sharing" as an application area.
