The History of the Internet and the Creators of the Internet

Since the time of our planet’s existence, a countless number of scientists contributed greatly to the development of culture, science, and technology giving impetus to the development of civilization with seven-league strides.Let’s try to recall some of the geniuses:

  • Hippocrates is famous for great discoveries in the field of medicine whichare still used at the present day.
  • Alexander Graham Bell - a scientist experimentalist who invented telephone communication.This invention solved a lot of communication problems.
  • James Watt – the inventor of the steam engine. Thisinvention encouraged the development of industry in many countries of theworld.
  • Berners-Lee – the inventor and as he is often called“the father” of the Internet. It was him who created World Wide Web (WWW). Thisperson gave a start to the modern Internet network. He was a pioneer instarting a new era of “Internet technologies”.

It was announced on radio, TV, and in the press that the era of “information technologies and Internet” has begun, but not many people think about who was responsible for this.

It was only in 2004 when the names of the creator of WWW (Berners-Lee and his team) were announced at the annual ceremony which took place at the Royal Supreme Court, and the whole world learned about the initiators of the well-know Internet. They were awarded the honorary title of the greatest Englishmen of the year 2004!

In 2009 for his unique idea Berners-Lee was given the honor to be come a commander of the Order of the British Empire which meant enlisting him as a knight. Berners-Lee was pleasantly surprised that the Queen of Great Britain and her family appreciated the idea of the Internet worl dwide network.

Except from the above mentioned awards sir Berbers-Lee became Millennium Technology Prize winner. This award is not widely known due to its recent introduction; however it has the same level of importance as the Noble Prize.

Together with the award sir Berners-Lee received a monetary reward of 1 million euro. This monetary reward was introduced by the Finnish Technology Award Foundation.

At the present day sir Berners-Lee lives with his family in America and works at Massachusetts Technological University being the head of World Wide Web Consortium.
