The Internet started as the World Wide Web which was the invention of Tim Berners Lee!

Tim Berners-Lee, born in 1955, is a groundbreaking inventor who changed the world by creating the World Wide Web in 1991. Growing up with a keen interest in computers, he realized that while computers were fascinating, they couldn't easily share information. Working as a scientist, Berners-Lee thought, "What if we could connect computers and share information worldwide?" This idea led to the invention of the World Wide Web, allowing anyone, anywhere to create websites and share information. His invention, known to most as the Internet, has profoundly impacted the way we live, work, and communicate, revolutionizing the modern world.   We meet and have a funny chat with world-wide-web inventor, , Tim Berners Lee at our TIME TRAVELING INVENTORS school assembly!
