Tim Berners-Lee
Berners-Lee expresses his concern about social-media sites potentially becoming monopolies.
Tim Berners-Lee Was born on June 8th, 1955 in London, England. Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1991, which allowed two computers to communicate with each other regardless of their location in the world. His new invention, in 1991, allowed two people to combine their knowledge and post it on a website for others to have access to. This allowed students to have access to knowledge they had never previously had access to before and share their ideas with other people. Tim Berners-Lee built his first computer in England with a soldering iron, and in the years to come, he spent a lot of his time studying computer technology. In 1978, he wrote typesetting software for intelligent printers, and a multi-tasking operating system. In 1980, Tim Berners-Lee wrote his own private use for storing information for his personal usage, and in 1989 he took his knowledge to introduce the World Wide Web. In 1999, Tim Berners-Lee was the first person to hold the 3Corn Founders Chair in Massachusetts , and has been awarded the MacArthur Fellowship, Charles Stark Draper Prize, Marconi Prize, Mountbatten Medal, and President’s Medal. The World Wide Web allowed students to collaborate with people around the world, and gave access to a world of shared information.
“I actually wrote some programs to take information from one system and convert it so it could be inserted into another system.”
Students were able to search a website and learn from the information that was written by others around the world. The World Wide Web is now used throughout the United States by students in almost every classroom, and has been changing into an advanced technology that holds endless information.
“The World Wide Web (known as "WWW', "Web" or "W3") is the universe of network-accessible information, the embodiment of human knowledge.”
