Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee

Mr. Berners-Lee was born in London, England on June 8, 1955. From 1973 to 1976 he studied at The Queen's College in Oxford and earned a degree in Physics. After, he became a British Engineer, computer scientist and a professor at the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

On 25 December 1990 Mr. Berners-Lee, with the help of Robert Cailliau, a student from the European Organization for Nuclear Research, was able to successfully run the first communication between an HTTP client and server by way of the Internet. This is how he became known as the inventor of the World Wide Web. Still today he continues to work on further developing the World Wide Web.

I think his accomplishments are amazing. While researching, I discovered that not only has he made is very important advance in global communications and technology possible, but still today continues to research and further develop internet technology. Still today he is being recognized for his work. Because of this, I expect that he will continue to be famous and recognized in the future.

"Being British"

"Being British" is not easily defined. Over time the population of Britain has changed to include many people from different parts of the world and still today demography is changing. The British society has also been greatly influenced by the cultures of immigration over the years. One of the most influencial minority groups in Britain today is from Indian. Their influence has become so strong that the number one dish in Britan is a rather famous dish from India.
So now what makes a person British is not where they come from or what they look like, but rather the commmon enviroment and land they share and the ideals they have created in their common enviroment. I think it is wonderful to be able to go to a new land and become apart of that land and people.
