For prominent figure I would like to chose:
TIM BERNERS-LEE
Dotcoms, bloggers and Google all have one man to thank for their place in the 21st century world In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee made the imaginative leap to combine the inter with the hypertext concept, and the web was born. While at Oxford, he was caught hacking with a friend and was subsequently banned from using the university computer.He worked at Plessey Telecommunications from 1976 as a programmer and in 1980 began working as an independent contractor at the European nuclear research centre Cern.
In December 1989, Berners-Lee proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researcher s. While there, he built a prototype system called Enquire.
In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium(W3C) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It comprised various companies willing to create standard and recommendations to improve the quality of the web. Berners -Lee made his ideas available freely, with no patent and no royalties due. He is now the director of W3C, a senior researcher at MIT's CSail, and professor of computer science at Southampton University.
