"Information and management: a proposal", submitted to CERN, to address 
the question "...how will we ever keep track of such a large project?"

The proposal uses the image of "a 'web' of notes with links (like 
references) between them...like a diagram of circles and arrows, where 
circles and arrows can stand for anything'.

Later that year, TB-L "implemented the first successful communication 
between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the 
Internet." (Wiki)

And that, children, is how it all began....
