Tim Berners-Lee
Tim Berners-Lee (1955-) is an English computer scientist who invented the World Wide Web in 1989, designing and implementing HTML, URLs, and HTTP — the foundational technologies that allow anyone to browse and share information via hypertext on the Internet. By choosing not to patent WWW and releasing it free of charge, he enabled its explosive global adoption, creating the infrastructure layer beneath the entire digital economy of the 21st century.
