Today it has become almost as important to every family as food and water! This year, the World Wide Web has turned 25 years old. What many people dont know is
10、that the web was at first created to improve communication between thousands of scientists in Switzerland.In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee was a 34-year-old British physicist working as a software engineer at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland.

11、tion with thousands of scientists, communication between them was becoming increasingly difficult.Berners-Lee wanted to develop a system to solve the problem. His paper suggested an information system, where a page on one computer could have a link (链接) to another page on another computer (connected

He came up with ideas such as Hyper
13、-text Transfer Protocol (超文本传输协议) to allow computers to talk to each other, Hyper-text Markup Language (HTML) to create the pages, a server to serve the pages, and a browser (浏览器) to see them. In December 1990, the World Wide Web was demonstrated (展示) and in 1991, the WWW project was made public, so
14、 that other programmers could develop their own browsers. Berners-Lee believed that it could be used for more than scientific purposes. He wanted the Internet to be easy for anyone to use a free open software. His wishes soon came true. Although the World Wide Web has today turned into a completely

18、he Oxford English Dictionary has just named its Word of the Year.

23、ctures together. When you move these pictures rather quickly, your eyes see them as movement.GIF made its simple beginnings in 1987. While it is more usually pronounced with a hard g (like in “great”), the programmers who developed the format prefer the use of a soft g (like d in “general”).Animated
