BBC NEWS | Technology | How the web went world wide

Interesting to think of the web being ~15 years old while the (IBM) PC is nearing its 25th anniversary (for more on the latter, see, e.g., this article from The Economist). 

One key date is 6 August 1991 - the day on which links to the fledgling computer code for the www were put on the alt.hypertext discussion group so others could download it and play with it.

On that day the web went world wide.
