A digital revolution was set in motion by Tim Berners-Lee, who is credited for inventing the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the earliest days of the World Wide Web, HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) emerged as the foundational language for creating web pages. Websites consisted of static content, often text-heavy and lacking interactivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Introduction to HTML and its role in structuring content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple web pages with titles, sections of text and connections to other pages (links).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limited visual design options.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Emergence of hyperlinks for navigation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of dynamic elements and user interactivity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Interesting Fact<\/em><\/strong><em>: The first-ever website created by Berners-Lee was dedicated to the World Wide Web project.
