The Internet is such a huge part of our everyday lives that it’s
impossible to imagine a world without it. One feature of this
amazing tool is the World Wide Web. This is the ‘information
space’ of the Internet – currently made up of around 200
million active websites. It’s the main way we find and share
information on the Net – and it’s all thanks to a British
computer scientist and engineer named Tim Berners-Lee.
Tim was born in London, England on 8th June 1955. Both of
his parents were computer scientists, and from an early age
Tim was fascinated by electronics; he even took apart his
model railway to discover how it worked! Years later, in 1976,
he graduated from Oxford University with a physics degree,
and in 1980 he started working at CERN, the European
Organization for Nuclear Research, in Geneva, Switzerland.
While at CERN, Tim noticed how time-consuming it was for
scientists to exchange their research with each other – and
decided to fix this problem on his own. First, he connected the
scientists’ computers through a network, and then he created
a piece of software which allowed scientists to click on pieces
