ArsTechnica looks back: "In November of 1990, Tim Berners-Lee, a researcher at Europe's CERN Particle Physics Laboratory, invented the very first web server and web browser. The server, entitled simply httpd, and the browser, called WorldWideWeb, ran on Tim's NeXT cube and worked exclusively on the NeXTstep operating system. Archive copies of Tim's first web page and some early web sites show a web that is simultaneously very different from the modern one and yet still very familiar."

While Babbage's analytical engine was not a binary computer it was most certainly digital.
It is interesting in that Babbage's proposed analytical engine though mechanical and powered by steam anticipated the modern comptuer better than some of the early electronic computing machines.
