Tim Berners-Lee was born on the 8th of June 1955, in southwest London

His parents were Mary Lee-Woods and his father Conway Berners-Lee

His parents, like him, worked with computers. They worked on the first ever computer, the Ferranti Mark 1.

Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web.

The world wide web is very big and has roughly about 60,000,000,000,000 pages that's a very big number and it’s still growing!!!!

Tim Berners-Lee is campaigning for Free Internet and against spying on every single thing from private email to twitter posts and Social Media sites.

Tim Berners-Lee went to university from 1973 to 1976. He was very clever so he went to The Queens College of the University of Oxford, a very, very good University in England. He studied Physics and got a First Class Degree.

☺ The web isn’t the Internet☺ Berners-Lee’s net worth is £50million☺ He had the idea for the World Wide Web

while he was working at CERN because he was getting annoyed at having to re-code everybody else's codes.

☺ He gave out the Internet for free even though he could have earned billions

☺ Tim Berners-Lee came to Galway in November 2010.

The effect of the World Wide Web is huge. It allows us to talk to our friends, play games and generally surf the web

Without the world wide web there would be no Twitter, Facebook or Email. So we can safely say that his invention was extremely important to modern society

It also is a thing we use in day to day life. One example is I used it to do my project.
