Thirty years after their creation of the World Wide Web, the team of inventors is now fighting to stop the corruption of their work.
MEYRIN: Thirty years ago this month, a young British physician working at a lab near Geneva invented a system for scientists to share information that would ultimately change humanity.
The only indication that history was made here is a small commemorative plaque and a page from an old CERN directory hung on the door, with “MOMENTARILY OUT OF OFFICE!” written in jest next to Berners-Lee’s name. Fluckiger, now retired, hailed the web as one of three major inventions in the 20th century that enabled the digital society, alongside the Internet Protocol and Google’s search algorithms.
In January, the man dubbed the “father of the web” urged the global elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos to join the fight against the “polarisation” of online debates. He warned of the impact “of the dark web and the deep web and all the problems of cybersecurity”, and called for the creation of “soft mechanisms” to help rein in countries using this technology to violate human rights.CERN has held onto only a few souvenirs from the early days: the first memo that Berners-Lee drafted about his invention, his black NeXT computer station and his keyboard.
