Web@30 - Screening of the documentary "ForEveryone.Net"

In 1989 the world's largest particle physics laboratory, CERN, was a hive of ideas but information was stored on multiple incompatible computers. Tim Berners-Lee had a vision of a unifying structure that would link information across different computers, and wrote a proposal in March 1989 called "Information Management: A Proposal". By 1991, this vision of universal connectivity had become the World Wide Web! The documentary "ForEveryone.Net" connects the future of the Web with the little-known story of its birth.
