Why so much success?

• Tim Berners Lee invented WWW, which allowed web
  pages to work. Before that, there was still
  email, but it was just an application. There was
  no hundred million different pages, there was
  just a white square where you typed your text and
  then sent it.

Why so much success?

• Almost every business has benefited from W3,
  because now they can make web sites with a web of
  pages where consumers can learn about their
  product.

• Many other computer companies have been inspired
  by W3. This is where Microsoft came from. They
  realized what HTML could do, and they did A LOT
  with it.
