Tim Berners-Lee: The Unknown Demigod



August sixth should be celebrated globally as Worldwide Web Day. On that day in 1991, Tim Berners-Lee created the first web site, http://info.cern.ch/, and he explained on the site how to own a browser and set up web servers. He also is the primary inventor of the URL, HTML, and HTTP protocols. Why does it seem that no one has heard of Tim Berners-Lee? He is the unknown demigod.
