Even if you can't name the inventor of the World Wide Web (It's Tim Berners-Lee!), you'll probably want to celebrate one of the information network's ...
Inevitably, I will lose touch with some aspects of modern culture. Headlines that only use first names are often a mystery. I still know that 'Jessica' probably refers to Ms. Simpson but 'Kris' is off my radar. So it goes.
On Aug. 6, 1991, a scientist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) named Tim Berners-Lee unveiled a project for organizing informat...
