On August 23, 2016, the internet completed 25 years. On this day, in 1991, Sir Tim Berners-Lee created and developed the World Wide Web (WWW). On the world's first public website, Sir Tim Berners-Lee said, “The WWW project merges the techniques of information retrieval and hypertext to make an easy but powerful global information system. Later, the first server was launched publicly, two years later, on August 6, 1991. Reportedly, by late 1993, there were more than 500 known web servers, and the world wide web accounted for 1 percent of internet traffic.
