Happy Birthday to the inventor of the internet


If you define, "He Invented the internet" as the person who developed HTTP and made GUI browsing for non-geeks possible, then he's the one.

Sorry Al Gore, I have to give credit where credit is actually due.

Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee, OM, KBE, FRS, FREng, FRSA (London, 2 Aug 1955), is an English engineer and computer scientist and MIT professor credited with inventing the World Wide Web, making the first proposal for it in March 1989. On 25 December 1990, with the help of Robert Cailliau and a young student staff at CERN, he implemented the first successful communication between an HTTP client and server via the Internet. In 2007, he was ranked Joint First, alongside Albert Hofmann, in The Telegraph's list of 100 greatest living geniuses.[2] Berners-Lee is the director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
