Tim Berners-Lee, de bedenker van het worldwide web, zal door de Britse koningin Elizabeth geridderd worden.
Berners-Lee bedacht het worldwide web in 1990 aan CERN, het Europese onderzoekscentrum voor hoge-energiedeeltjesfysica dat in de buurt van Genève is gevestigd. meer>>
Berner's bescheiden reactie: "This is an honor which applies to the whole Web development community, and to the inventors and developers of the Internet, whose work made the Web possible. I accept this as an endorsement of the spirit of the Web; of building it in a decentralized way; of making best efforts to keep it open and fair; and of ensuring its fundamental technologies are available to all for broad use and innovation, and without having to pay licensing fees." >>meer
