Biography

The 21st century is the Internet era. The world's communication devices can communicate and exchange information in a short time through the World Wide Web, a magical system that helps billions of people communicate and browser on the Internet. And Tim Berners-Lee, the architect of this great system, is known as the father of the World Wide Web.
