Let us try to give a brief overview of the evolution of the World Wide Web, which was born in 1989.
Its inventor is Tim Berners-Lee, a researcher at CERN in Geneva, who introduced the interconnected digital pages to the network, claiming that this invention would facilitate the exchange of information in science.
Thus, the Internet was born for cultural reasons and immediately positioned itself at a high level in the science community. However, in the course of its evolution, starting as a medium with libertarian and let’s say “public” characteristics, the Internet became a huge business and during the 1990s it fueled a strong financial speculation called the “New Economy” that resulted in the arrival of large private companies in the network.
Despite the bursting of the financial bubble in the late 1990s, a number of Global Internet Companies (GICs) established themselves, gradually taking on enormous economic value and creating platforms that are still dominant today.
