Tim Berners-Lee (born 1955): Tim Berners-Lee is a British computer scientist recognized globally as the inventor of the World Wide Web. Born in the mid-20th century, Berners-Lee envisioned a unifying structure for linking information across different computers. In 1989 while working at CERN, he proposed a decentralized system of information management. This led to the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the internet in late 1990. Berners-Lee’s invention of the World Wide Web which included the establishment of HTTP, Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), and HTML, changed the way we create and consume information.
