This man has had more influence one the way the world works than Abraham Lincoln, George Washington or even the iron lady herself, Margeret Thatcher. In fact I suspect if you could put all the world politicians together you still wouldn't achieve the effect this man has had. He invented the World Wide Web.


Sir Tim originally proposed the idea in 1989, he is very modest about it.


He built his first website at Cern, on the border with France. The web browser he developed to view it was called WorldWideWeb. It could also be used as an http (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) editor. 

The rest is history of course

There's a lot more about this on Wikipedia of course. your social media marketing partner
