New York Web Design: Who Is Tim Berners-Lee?

By Arthur Williams


History is one of the most fascinating topics in the entire world. Many of us want to know how certain ideas were created or how people lived without many of the luxuries that we enjoy today? New York web design has its own history and it all starts with the work of one man: Tim Burners-Lee. You might not know this person by name but you should be aware of his achievements. To be more specific, he was responsible for the creation of the first website.

Born in London, England in 1955, Tim Berners-Lee was not only the first man to create a website but the inventor of the World Wide Web as we know it today. It could be argued that he picked up his knowledge of technology from his parents, seeing as how they were quite involved in computers as well. After graduating from the Queen's College in Oxford, he would start a career that would, in time, influence what we know as New York web design.

Prior to his development of the first website in 1991, Berners-Lee suggested the idea of a network. What this network would do is tie computers together in order to help them share information with one another. The aforementioned website was built by Berners-Lee on a NeXT computer, which was distributed by a company that Steve Jobs headed at the same. Seeing as how Jobs is now better associated with his time at Apple, this is an interesting piece of trivia that tends to go overlooked.

Even though it's probably a given, based on the primitive technology of the early 90s, the first-ever website wasn't overly detailed. According to companies along the lines of Avatar New York, it was focused solely on text and hyperlinks, which meant that photos and videos were absent. However, the site itself was meant to convey information about the World Wide Web, including those involved in its creation, its history and what have you. This website was a starting point, though, and your local fishbat Internet marketing company can agree.

This is just a general overview of Tim Berners-Lee and the work that he was able to accomplish. Web designers should recognize the work in question, seeing as how his creation of the World Wide Web has allowed them to find work in their industry. Another thing to know about Berners-Lee is that, in 2004, he was knighted because of his past accomplishments. It's a great honor that few have had bestowed upon them.
