A man with the world at his web feat
Article Abstract:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Director Tim Berners-Lee works with more than 300 other members from the information technology (IT) industry on developing standards for the world wide web. Berners-Lee fears any attempt to control the web may cause its destruction. He supports openness and freedom on the web. Berners-Lee first developed the world wide web, which would allow computers to associate freely, in 1991. Initially he managed all difficulties within the web alone, until 1994 when he was approached by members of the IT industry.
