Little Story:
While a student at Oxford University in the mid-1970s, Tim Berners-Lee took a soldering iron and cobbled together a computer from TTL gates, an M6800 processor and an old television. Fifteen years later, demonstrating the same knack for invention, the software engineer radically changed the history of computing when he wrote the protocols that define the World Wide Web.
