• The first websites: how the web spread around the world

  

  From one server at CERN in December 1990 to 83 countries with a recorded website by 2000. I coded Wikipedia’s list of 119 websites founded before 1995 and added 2,208 more from Wikidata: the web began with physicists and was soon overwhelmingly American, at least in the English-language memory of it.
