3934 God Created the Internet! 24 April 2005 How loving with this GOD many in faith - hope and desire hold For was it that before the coming of man on the moon such a tale was to be told For God created the internet in such of his loving way When in London one man’s birth did to the world gift void of pay As if it had been an amateur in packets of radio signals more made prominent in radiance of war Like that to man’s invention of revolution and the mighty wheel While the consensuses could have been why was it this had not been thought of before Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee, KBE, [born 08 June 1955] is the inventor of the World Wide Web [along with Robert Cailliau] Berners-Lee was born in London, England, and attended Emanuel School in Wandsworth. He was an alumnus of the Queen's College of Oxford University, where he built a computer with a soldering iron, TTL gates, an M6800 processor and an old television. It was also at Oxford where after he was caught hacking with a friend, he was subsequently banned from using the university computer. In 1980, while an independent contractor at CERN, Berners-Lee proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers. With help from Robert Cailliau he built a prototype system named Enquire. He later used similar ideas to create the World Wide Web, for which he designed and built the first browser. The first website Berners-Lee built [and therefore the first web site] was first put online on 06 August 1991.

I love the way your mind works and how you present facinating facts in a poetic/beautiful manner. I keep learning something new from you! ![]() Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |
