Internet | Roots

Tim Berners-Lee (6/1955-) invented the Internet.
Most of us, even me, think it was an US military invention.

In 1991, the first website Berners-Lee built was for the CERN which is based in Switzerland. At this time, TBL worked for the CERN.

Everything such as HTML, URL, HTTP protocol are our heritage from this man.

Without his contribution, I think I can't be there to tell you something about blogging and so on.

Strictly speaking, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, not the Internet.

The internet itself is a telecommunication infrastructure, which derives from an US military creation, the DARPA.

Good correction from Barijaona.
I'll think twice next time before posting such news!
