People are thanking Tim Berners-Lee to mark the 25th anniversary of the World Wide Web

LONDON -- One British computer scientist is going to have a hell of a lot of Twitter notifications by the end of the day.

On Tuesday morning, people took to social media to mark Internaut Day -- the anniversary of the date on which Tim Berners-Lee made the World Wide Web openly available for people to use, 25 years ago.

Some people shared a timeline to show how much things have changed since then.
