Tim Berners - Lee is the man who wrote the software programme that led to the foundation of the world Wide Web. Britain played an important in developing the first generation of computers. The parents of Tim Berners - Lee both worked on one of the earliest commercial computers and talked about their work at home. As a child he would build models of computers from packaging materials. After graduating from Oxford University he went on to the real thing. In the 1980s scientists were already communicating using a primitive version (原始版本) of e - mail.
While working at a laboratory in Switzerland, Tim Berbers - Lee wrote a programme which let him store those messages. This gave him another idea: wrote a programme that will let academics from across the world share information on a single place. In 1990 he wrote the HTTTP and HTML programmes which formed the basis of the World Wide Web.
The next year his programmes were placed on to the Internet. Everyone was welcome to use them and improve them if they could. Programmers used his codes to work with different operating systems. New things like Web browsers and search engines were developed. Between 1991 and the 1994 the number of web pages rose from 10 to 100,000.
In 1994 Tim Berners - Lee formed the newly formed World Wide Web Consortium or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are respected by W3C. Together they make sure that everyone can share equally on the web. “The web can help people to understand the way that others live and love. It helps us understand the humanity of people.” He says.
