UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the world wide web, in front of the CERN stand at the World Summit on the Information Society held in December 2003. Kofi Annan used the original web server on which the internet was created by Tim Berners Lee while working at CERN, to send a message to young people around the world, urging them to keep communicating with each other to build bridges of understanding between cultures and societies.
