In March 1989, the young Mr. Berners-Lee handed his supervisor in Geneva a document titled 'Information Management: a proposal.' The supervisor described it as "vague, but exciting" and later gave it to go ahead, according to CERN. Mr. Robert Cailliau former system engineer who teamed up with Mr. Berners-Lee, they drew up the global hypertext language, which is behind the "http" in website addresses, and came up with the first web browser in October 1990, which looks similar to the ones used today.
The "www" technology was first made available for wider use of the Internet of 1991, after CERN was unable to ensure its development, and the organization made a landmark decision two years later not to levy royalties.

The World Wide Web (www) on Friday 13th March 2009 marked its 20th anniversary, the creation of the web of British computer software genius Tim Berners-Lee and other scientists at European particle physics laboratory CERN paved the way for the Internet explosion which has changed daily lives.
Mr. Berners-Lee and his colleagues such as Mr. Robert Cailliau, who originally set up by the system to allow thousands of scientists around the world to stay in touch with one another, took part in commemorations on Friday 13th March 2009 at the laboratory.
Mr. Robert cailliau still marvels at developments like Wikipedia that allow knowledge to be exchanged openly around the web, but never imagined that search engines would take on the importance they have assumed today.
The commercial development of the web still irritates some of the founders. "There are some things I don't like at all, such as the fact that people have to live off advertising" said Mr. Robert, who preferred the idea of direct "micro payments" to information providers.
And also he added "there is the big problem of identity, of course, the trust between the person who is consulting and the person who provides the page, as well as the protection of children".
The valuable achievements of 20th century's are often used for malpractices, forgeries, there are crimes happenings through the Internet, instead of good usage.
