The World Wide Web was actually developed as a non-profit venture by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) in 1989. Berners-Lee's main goal was to create a system that would allow scientists to easily share and access information across different computer platforms. It was only later on that the web became commercialized, with businesses and entrepreneurs recognizing its potential as a platform for e-commerce and marketing.
