British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee (born 1955) with his 1989 proposal for the World Wide Web (WWW), standing by the NeXT computer on which he developed the Web. This computer was also the first Web server. Berners-Lee studied at Oxford University. After working in industry he moved to CERN (the European particle physics laboratory) near Geneva, Switzerland. There he developed the web, a global network for information sharing based on hypertext documents. Berners-Lee was knighted in 2004.
