How the Web began
The concept of what became the World Wide Web was in a paper dated 20 years ago today that was written by Tim Berners-Lee. As a scientist, Berners-Lee made his ideas freely available to all. Imagine where we would be if Bill Gates had come up with the same ideas and, true to his credo that all intellectual property has to be monetized, had made the Web a proprietary Microsoft service.
