Beginnings of Web Content
While the Internet began with a U.S. Government research project in the late 1950s, the web in its present form did not appear on the Internet until after Tim Berners-Lee and his colleagues at the European laboratory (CERN) proposed the concept of linking documents with hypertext. But it was not until Mosaic, the forerunner of the famous Netscape Navigator, appeared that the Internet become more than a file serving system.

Largely, today we categorize websites as being a particular type of website according to the content a website contains.

With price of mangled mind thy worthless ware;”
