Berners-Lee developed the earliest browser in 1990. At that time, the application of the World Wide Web seemed to be just a tool. Now, various network tools have flourished. Internet has changed from the original concept of "electronic encyclopedia connecting the world" to a brand-new entertainment tool focusing on music, video and convenient communication between friends and relatives. The number of people using tools other than browsers to access the Internet is gradually increasing.
Of course, the main reason for the rapid development of the Internet is the continuous improvement of bandwidth. With broadband connection, it is an inevitable trend to develop entertainment tools such as music and video. Berners-Lee has not ignored this trend, and he is actively conducting new research. For example, further improve the speed of existing web pages; Develop a new generation of search engines to make them more intelligent and understand users' vague needs ... In addition, Berners-Lee is also working on developing voice browsers, with the aim of enabling visually impaired people to access the Internet conveniently.
The development of the World Wide Web far exceeded the original intention of its inventor. Berners-Lee, a 48-year-old IT hero, has always lived a low-key life. He repeatedly explained that he didn't invent the Internet, but found a more convenient way to use the original resources. Facing the title of knight, he said: "Although I feel a little strange, I still feel honored. Happily, honor also favors ordinary people who happen to solve a problem, such as the Internet.
