on this date in history
Tim Berners-Lee posted files describing his vision of a system of interlinked files using hypertext and connected via the Internet. Although the work had been done previously, this was considered the "birth" of the WorldWideWeb (as originally named).

It doesn't sound very useful to me. 
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Since you didn't say what the year was I did some research and found that on Aug. 6, 1991 CERN brought-up the world's first website. So it wasn't just papers but a real, working, website. The URL was (and still is): http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.htmlearendel wrote:Tim Berners-Lee posted files describing his vision of a system of interlinked files using hypertext and connected via the Internet.
