The figure was reached shortly before 00.00 GMT on Wednesday, according to data released in real time by the Internet Live Stats website. At that time, the number of web pages had risen to more than 1.06 billion , a figure that is constantly growing and at a considerable rate, according to the data.
Internet, that interconnected world network, devised by the British Tim Berners-Lee, who presented his idea in writing on March 12, 1989 (official date established as the birth of the web) and who established the first communication between a client and a server using the HTTP protocol a little later, back in November 1989, it celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2014.
This milestone in communication would completely transform the lives of billions of people around the world over time. Nowadays, it is impossible to conceive of the world as we live it without the presence of the internet.
Although the beginnings of the web were timid, the gurus of the network affirm that the inflection point in the creation of web pages took place in 1993 with the introduction of the Mosaic browser, which led to a real “boom” of new pages This growth has only been increasing at an accelerated rate since then, with the only notable negative point being the bursting or collapse of the dot-com bubble in 2001.
