Tim Berners Lee
By Jack Neus
What did he do?
• He invented the World Wide
Web, which linked hypertext
with TCP and DNS.
• He invented W3 while working
in CERN, a physics lab in
Switzerland.
• Hypertext is the idea of
jumping from one document to
another. A web page is a
document too.
• TCP and DNS were the early
versions of WWW. That was
what was used to create the
first email.

Company Statistics
• Tim Berners Lee founded
W3C, otherwise known
as the WWW Consortium.
• The company is private.
You cannot buy shares of
it.
• The company was
founded in 1994.
• The business was a first
of its kind, finally
introducing things like
web pages.
Why so much success?
• Tim Berners Lee
invented WWW, which
allowed web pages to
work. Before that, there
was still email, but it was
just an application. There
was no hundred million
different pages, there was
just a white square where
you typed your text and
then sent it.
Why so much success?
• Almost every business has
benefited from W3, because
now they can make web sites
with a web of pages where
consumers can learn about
their product.
•Many other computer companies
have been inspired by W3. This is
where Microsoft came from. They
realized what HTML could do, and
they did A LOT with it.
