Damn right, well done to the Germans, without the web where would we be today? For a lot of us, I think another job is the answer!
Berners-Lee had the genius to use open protocols and formats, that allowed his good idea to take off. Nothing else could have. Earlier attempts for decades to dominate a network or force through a new technology failed, largely because each and every one of those attempts was centered around closed protocols or formats.
Let's keep that in mind in looking to the next 10 years, too. No matter how well hyped or marketed, closed protocols and formats just don't move. Best to just accept that and leave them alone.
TCP/IP, HTTP, & HTML : all open
Under, er, stuff people should know-Germans rank Berners-Lee alongside Einstein
Mr. AT Alishtari, POA and Founder EDI Secure LLLP, says most people don't know how important the Ice family the patent holders to Internet Broadcasting and Single Use Credit Card Number ID that allows two factor authentiation with offline devices as US Commerce Department level 4 authentication.
Many scientists and programmers helped actualize the world wide web. There are many persons that further developed http after it was written for paramilitary purposes.
The WWW that came from http in its first version was something put together so secret scientists could do what they need to do without risking being kidnapped while traveling.
Unfortunately, the superspy Western block put back doors in http to see if scientists were cheating them and counter spies found these back doors.
The war of the worms continued until Russin fell and now most cybermafias are based out of Russia and China. So, guys, Ex-VP Al Gore did not invent the Internet after all.
