the discrimination women face within 'stupid male geek culture'. The respected

Reddit: The First Web Page Ever Created (Tim Berners-Lee, 1990)

Tim Berners-Lee explains:
Q: What was the first web page?
A: Apart from local "file:" URLs on my machine (which was the first browser
as well as the first server), the first http one (end of 1990) was basically
http://nxoc01.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
An alias was made so that this was later known as
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
It is not now (alas) served but a later (1992) copy of the original pages exists
at http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

newscientist.com - We no longer fully understand the web

"Web science is already happening. People are studying the effect of the
web within disciplines like social science, economics, psychology and law.
Our Web Science Research Initiative aims to bring that research together.

There are converging web-related issues cropping up, like privacy and se-
curity, that we currently have no way of thinking about. Nobody has thou-
ght to look at how people and the web combine as a whole - until now."
