Official Question Material
Prep: Instant

Tim Berners-Lee believes the internet can foster human understanding and even world peace, Times Online, March 20, 2010. He is the man who has changed the world more than anyone else in the past hundred years. Sir Tim Berners-Lee may be a mild-mannered academic who lives modestly in Boston, but as the inventor of the World Wide Web, he is also a revolutionary. Along with Galileo, William Caxton, and Sir Isaac Newton, he is a scientist who has altered the way people think and live. Since the web went global 20 years ago, the way we shop, listen to music and communicate has been transformed. This has implications for politics, literature, economics, and even terrorism, because an individual can now have the same access to information as the elite. Society will never be the same.
