Until 1989, the Internet was primarily used by computer geeks who knew all the required tools and commands. But everything changed when Tim Berners-Lee of the CERN nuclear research facility near Geneva, Switzerland, introduced Hypertext documents.

Hypertext documents made it very simple to follow links to related information, regardless of which country the information is stored in - all that was required was a single click of the mouse! Yet these links also had an implication for the way people would read the information...
