 History of the WWW
 ------------------
 
-**Wikinews**: Why did the WWW emerge at a particle physics lab such as CERN? What need did it serve the scientific community at its origin? Was the making of the WWW a case of the right time and the right place/circumstances for someone with the right IT knowledge?

-**Robert Cailliau**: There were quite a number of hypertext systems around: the Microcosm, Hyper-G, [Gopher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol) "w:Gopher (protocol)"), even Xanadu. Everyone was experimenting. There were even two independent attempts inside CERN (Tim's and mine)! CERN is an infrastructure used by physicists from all kinds of universities who after their experiments at CERN go back to their institutes. A single experiment brings together many physicists from universities scattered over the globe. Obviously they stay in contact: they have been users of networks and computers for a long time.

 It's therefore not so surprising that we looked for a system that would allow such a group to consult documents without having to know where the author was or which of the different computers, operating systems, usernames or passwords was needed. There was a need for an automated library.
 
 The two attempts at CERN were personal initiatives. When I learned that Tim wanted to use the internet and had made progress towards an implementation, I immediately teamed up with him. But it remained for quite a time a project that was looked at with some apprehension by CERN management.
 
 It was partially the result of the right people in the right place, partially chance, but partially driven by a real need. And everything happened under the benevolent eyes of Mike Sendall, Tim's boss.

 There were a number of factors against us. First, the period of home-grown IT solutions was over. The trend was to buy off-the-shelf software.

 I remember a funny exchange between a person from [Deutsche Telekom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Telekom "w:Deutsche Telekom") and a group of academics at a conference: they complained about the costs and the slow links. The telecom person replied: "What do you want? We give you the best [X-25](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.25 "w:X.25") lines and then you run [TCP/IP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite "w:Internet protocol suite") on top of that!" But we had no choice: TCP/IP was the only protocol usable with all universities of the world.

 At another occasion I asked a representative of [France Telecom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_Telecom "w:France Telecom") for his e-mail address. He gave me an X-400 address and I asked for an internet address. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Monsieur, vous ne pensez quand-même pas que France Telecom va soutenir l'internet?" ("Sir, I hope you do not expect that France Telecom will support the internet?"). And all that happened when the web was already a success, though indeed only in the academic world.

Musto, in addition to his appearances on _[Countdown with Keith Olbermann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countdown_with_Keith_Olbermann "w:Countdown with Keith Olbermann")_ and the [E!](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E!

He has recently compiled the best of them in a book released this year titled, _La Dolce Musto: Writings by the World's Most Outrageous Columnist_. He was [Carrie Bradshaw](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Bradshaw "w:Carrie Bradshaw"), replete with a prodigious use of puns, before _[Sex in the City](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_in_the_City "w:Sex in the City")_ was a thought. His column is a romp through his life, spats and opinions on socio-political issues. As David Thigpen of the _[Chicago Tribune](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Tribune "w:Chicago Tribune")_ wrote, Musto is "a funny and caustic [satirist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/satirist "w:satirist") who masquerades as a gossip and nightlife columnist."

 When a fan connects with a band, it's often during moments like a drive down a highway at night reflecting on some aspect of his or her life; sitting at home after a fight with a girlfriend; singing in the shower; or celebrating at a party with her friends. Music becomes a soundtrack to an individual's life, and a connection with the musician forms when the listener is able to peg a perfect moment or feeling to a song. [Boston](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston,_Massachusetts "w:Boston, Massachusetts")\-based mega-member rock group [Bang Camaro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_Camaro "w:Bang Camaro")'s fan base claims a different level of interaction: they often have _learned_ to play their music before they ever had a moment associated with it. Bang Camaro found fame on the video game _[Guitar Hero II](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_Hero_II "w:Guitar Hero II")_, where an aspiring rock god uses a guitar-shaped peripheral to play rock music as notes scroll towards him on the screen.
