He is not as famous or as rich as Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs, however, without Tim Berners-Lee 's invention , neither of them would have achieved as much recognition – or at least not in the way that they did.
Tim Berners-Lee (London, United Kingdom, June 8, 1955) is considered the father of the Internet as we know it today. And although, strictly speaking, the credit is shared, Berners-Lee 's contribution , the World-Wide-Web (WWW), has been what allowed the Internet to be accessible to everyone.
The technical origins of the invention rcs data singapore back to the old military communications network Arpanet, created by the United States Army and which allowed computers to connect and communicate in a network; then, the specific technology of the Internet was developed by Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn, in the 1970s, to be able to connect these networks to each other. In other words, there had been a way for information to circulate between connected machines regardless of their location for more than 40 years; however, there was no - and there was not until 1989 - an effective method to search, retrieve and share data. And the World Wide Web (WWW) was the solution to the problem.
Berners-Lee graduated in physics but inherited his parents' passion for mathematics and computing. After graduating, the young physicist began working as a particle researcher at CERN, a laboratory in Geneva, and soon realized that a system was needed so that the laboratory's researchers could easily share their documents and work. Focused on the project of developing such a system, Berners-Lee had the idea of sharing all the information on his computers in a single network, connecting hypertext with the Internet and personal computers. Thus, the use of links allowed him to speed up the exchange of information.
