The Internet Inventor: Tim Berners-Lee
February 4th, 2007
Was wondering who invented this thing that is now a livelihood of many, and mind-blowingly layered these days and steeped in many having a desire to claim it’s inception, and this may be another, and the timeline I feel like i need to verify. According a Time article in March of 1999:
It started, of all places, in the Swiss Alps. The year was 1980. Berners-Lee, doing a six-month stint as a software engineer at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, in Geneva, was noodling around with a way to organize his far-flung notes. He had always been interested in programs that dealt with information in a “brain-like way” but that could improve upon that occasionally memory-constrained organ. So he devised a piece of software that could, as he put it, keep “track of all the random associations one comes across in real life and brains are supposed to be so good at remembering but sometimes mine wouldn’t.” He called it Enquire, short for Enquire Within Upon Everything, a Victorian-era encyclopedia he remembered from childhood.
Ahh… so according to this, the web was invented to mimic human brain functions… very cool, if you ask me.
