Inventing the Web
Ilkka Tuomi · Oxford University Press eBooks · 2006
This chapter illustrates the nature of innovation by outlining the history of the World Wide Web. It asks who invented the Web, what were the resources used in its invention, and what actually was invented in the process. Many of the details of this history are well known. Many accounts of the history of the World Wide Web, however, also show that some details of the story are often missed. These details become important when we try to understand innovations such as the World Wide Web.
