'''Sir Timothy (Tim) Berners-Lee''' is a [[United Kingdom|British]] software developer who was the primary inventor of the [[World Wide Web]]. In 2004 he was knighted for services to the global development of the Internet.
Whilst working at [[CERN]] (a [[particle physics]] laboratory in [[Switzerland]]) in 1990, Berners-Lee came up with the idea of using the [[Internet]] to link [[hypertext]] documents. He designed the first web browser and web server, and in 1991 CERN created the world's first website. Berners-Lee has remained an active participant in World Wide Web development ever since. He now lives in the [[United States]].
