Technology Trailblazer
WWW. We see these letters everywhere now days over the internet, but anyone knows who invented those?
It was Tim Berners-Lee. This unsung hero created the World Wide Web, although he refuses to step into the limelight to profit from his invention. Instead, he prefers to work quietly in academia as director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This organization consists hundreds of reps from all over the world's leading Internet companies, including IBM, Microsoft, and HP.
Berners-Lee born in London. He graduated with a degree in physics from Queens college at Oxford University, where he created his first working computer with an old television set, an M6800 processor, and a soldering iron.
I am posting it here because we all use internet and we should be thankful to invention like this. It just amazes me what could be in his mind when he invented something like internet and didn't take any advantage to make billions of dollars. What a great person.
