Who is sir Tim Bernard-lee?

Answer 1

It's Sir Tim Berners-Lee, not Bernard. He is a computer scientist and IT engineer who is credited with having developed the World Wide Web. Although research into internet communication had been going on for military and Governmental use during the Cold War from the late 1970s and throughout the '80s, as relations between the Superpowers began to thaw during the Gorbachev era and the USSR was no longer seen by the Western world as a likely threat, computer science began to open up at business and consumer level and become more accessible to the world in general. Berners-Lee made his first proposals for an information management system in March 1989, and in November of that year made the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and a server via the internet in November of that year.

He has since gone on to oversee development of the World Wide Web into what it is today, and is director of the World Wide Web Consortium (WC3) which continues to proceed with internet development and research. He is also the founder of the World Wide Web Foundation, and holds a number of other Chairmanships and Directorships of international IT development organisations. As of 2017 he is 62 years old, and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2004.
