The First Browser & Web Server
The first web server was a NeXT Computer, created by Steve Jobs’ company and running a Unix-based operating system named NeXTSTEP—it didn’t have a hard drive by default, came with a 1120×832 grayscale display, and it only cost $6500.
This same computer was also used to create the first web browser, appropriately titled WorldWideWeb and later renamed to Nexus to avoid confusion. It took him only two months to put together the first working version—after some more development, it was capable of displaying basic style sheets, downloading files, browsing newsgroups, and even spellchecking. Somebody should mention that last one to the Internet Explorer team…

It wasn’t until August 6, 1991, that Tim Berners-Lee actually announced that the web was publicly available, on the alt.hypertext newsgroup, but it was 20 years ago today that the web was invented.
