Dear Commons Community,

In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee, a software engineer, sat in his small office at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research near Geneva and started work on a new system called the World Wide Web.

Today that project, now simply called the web, celebrates its 25th anniversary. In the above video, Mr. Berners-Lee talks about being in the right place at the right time.
