One of the greatest inventions in history is the invention of the World Wide Web by Tim Berners-Lee.

     伯纳斯·李(Berners-Lee)于1955年6月8日出生于伦敦。Both his parents were mathematicians (数学家) and were members of a team which built one of the earliest computers, the Manchester Mark I. With the help of his parents, he did very well at maths.

     At Oxford University, he built a computer with an old television. After graduating in physics in 1976, he went to work for a company called Plessey Controls Limited in Poole. This company produced traffic lights. Then, in 1978, he created some software and a computer operating system (系统) when he was working for another company in Poole. That company was called D.G. Nash Limited. He suggested the idea of "hypertext"(超文本) to help scientists share research information. In *, Berners-Lee learned how to join hypertext on to the Internet. In 1990, he built the first web browser (浏览器) and editor called the World Wide Web. From then on, Berners-Lee allowed others to use his idea freely.

     In 1999, he was called one of the 100 most influential (有影响的) people of the twentieth century by Time magazine. He has received many prizes including $1.2 million from the President of Finland, Tarja Halonen, on April 15, 2004.

     Today he lives in Lexington, Massachusetts with his wife and two children.
