When Tim Berners-Lee created the setup we now use for every website URL on the internet, he included the double slash “//” after the “http:” because it was “a programming convention at the time,” he told The New York Times.
But he later admitted that the slashes “turned out to not be really necessary.” “Look at all the paper and trees that could have been saved if people had not had to write or type out those slashes on paper over the years—not to mention the human labor and time spent typing those two keystrokes countless millions of times in browser address boxes,” he said.
