World's First Website Address


My favorite character in English alphabet is "W." One of the reason for this is an Internet. Generally we can classify this world into two category. The categories are...
  1. Before Internet 
  2. After Internet  
Before Internet, the character "W" is one of the least used character in English alphabet. But, After Internet "W" is one of the most used character in English alphabet.

Recently I came to know the world's first website. The website was created on 1991. The website address is http://info.cern.ch. The following image is the screen shot of the world's first website.
