On August 6, 1991, Tim Berners-Lee launched the very first website. He created a simple page hosted at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, that explained the concept of the World Wide Web and how to use it.

The web has come a long way since its humble beginnings and continues to evolve and grow at an incredible pace. Today, you can access a vast amount of information at your fingertips – this revolutionizes communication and information sharing.

Here are some fun facts to ponder:

• If every website on the internet were a grain of sand, we would have enough to fill over 180 billion beaches! (That’s a lot of sandcastles.)
• The world’s first online purchase? A Sting CD in 1994 (way to go, music lover!)
