Imagine a Bigger Better World: An Innovative Leap by Sir Tim Berners-Lee
Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, was a computer geek who imagined a bigger and better world with a massive documentation system that any researcher anywhere in the world could easily access. He was frustrated at how difficult it was to search for and find information, and so he combined the hypertext concept with the web browser, URL system and HTTP to create the transformational technology we enjoy today. He built a platform for others, and put together the basic tools, freely available, for others to build upon.
