The Evolution of the World Wide Web

The video explores the evolution of the World Wide Web, starting with Vannevar Bush's memex concept, which inspired Doug Engelbart's innovations like the computer mouse and NLS system. It then discusses the development of hypertext systems in the 1980s, leading to Tim Berners-Lee's creation of the World Wide Web. Despite initial skepticism, Berners-Lee's vision eventually gained recognition, with Marc Andreessen developing the first web browser.
