Hi Steve Naranjo!

Good question, if you get to the very next video in the course, I answer that question and tell you a little about the guy who invented it, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. There are also some good links under the video you might want to check out.

Steve;

Great question! Take a look at this Wiki-Pedia article and see if it answers some of your questions.

If you have more I am sure Joy Kesten has some great resources as well on the history and origins of The World Wide Web.

Happy coding,

Ken
