How the world wide web was affected by the use of cross-platform and open source.

The Growth of the World Wide Web
In 1989 the world wide web was invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He was trying to find a new way for scientists to easily share the data from their experiments. Hypertext and the internet already existed at this point but no one had thought of a way to use the internet to link one document directly to another. Tim suggested three main technologies that meant all computers could understand each other (HTML, URL and HTTP). All of these remain in use today. He also made the world’s first web browser and web server. You can still see pages from the first web server online.








How the world wide web was affected by the use of cross-platform
The world wide web allowed it to be access by anything regardless of weather or not your computer is high end or not. But the world wide web isn't limited to one type of device, and is not developed by any one company. The web is entirely cross-platform. Cross-platform means that you can access web information equally well from any computer hardware running any operating system using any display. 

How the world wide web was affected by the use of open source
The world wide web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automatic information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world.The world wide web is open source, because Tim burners-lee (the creator) didn't put a pattern on to it as he thought it can be developed by other institutes. If is wasn't open source we would not have search engines like Google.
