The man behind the curtain...
Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web after graduating from Oxford University in England in 1976. Among rag weeks and student nights he managed to build his first computer out of a television(x factor wasn't invented then). TBL didnt stop there in 1994 he founded the W3C which creates web standards and improves the quality of the web especially for people with disabilities. This selfless man made this idea free (no patent/no royalties) so that it can be easily used by everyone.
What I find fascinating about my good friend TBL, because lets face it we would be still discovering the wheel withour him, is the way he looks at life..."told how essential it was to believe in all kinds of unbelievable things" (sourse: Wikipedia)
