Evolution of the World Wide Web

The video explores the evolution of the World Wide Web, starting with Vannevar Bush's 1945 vision of a machine to link information, which inspired Doug Engelbart's development of the NLS system and the first computer mouse. The rise of personal computing in the 1980s set the stage for Tim Berners-Lee's creation of the World Wide Web, despite initial skepticism. The web's early challenges are highlighted, including the rejection of Berners-Lee's paper, but it eventually gained traction with the development of browsers like Mark Andreessen's, leading to the web's global impact.
