Main event
The first Internet server appeared
August 6, 1991
August 6, 1991 was an important and significant day in the life of all users of the World Wide Web - the first Internet server appeared.
The World Wide Web project began its existence much earlier - in 1989, when the British scientist Tim Berners-Lee, who worked at the European Laboratory for Nuclear Research, first published his ideas and proposals for the creation of a worldwide computer network. However, the detailed development of the project began only a year later, when Tim got access to the NeXT computer, which became the first Internet server, browser (web browser) and the network editor.
Only after that it became possible to convert Berners-Lee's ideas into reality. In 1991, the project was finalized, presented to the CS committee. It was then, on August 6, 1991, the first Internet server appeared and the standard for WWW (World Wide Web) pages was approved.
During 1991, servers appeared in other research centers in Europe and the United States.
By November 1992, there were 26 servers in the world, by the end of 1993 this figure had increased significantly and exceeded 200.
In 1995 the WWW reached such a scale that it could no longer be called an "amateur network".
Today, the Internet is used by hundreds of millions of users, and the number of servers has reached enormous values and continues to grow. Currently, Tim Berners-Lee leads the World Wide Web Consortium, which he founded, which develops and implements Internet standards.

On 13 routes connecting all 47 prefectures of the country, participants of the march travel over 10 thousand kilometers and finish their march on August 6 in Hiroshima Peace Park, located around the epicenter of the atomic explosion.
The monument to the victims of Hiroshima is a gray concrete tent, spread out among the greenery of the park. Inside the monument is a limestone slab, below it is a casket with the names of the dead.
