| | Extraordinary People: Tim Berners Lee |
 | | If you were in a time machine and could travel back to 1960s London, you might find young Tim Berners-Lee busily constructing make-believe computers out of cardboard boxes or playing mathematical games with his parents at their kitchen table. | | | Tim was especially interested in two things: computers and how the human brain organizes and links information. | | | Tim wrote a software program to help him keep track of important documents and, using a series of links (hypertext), he connected them together much like an index does in a book. |

| | Tim Berners-Lee: There is a huge amount of development to the technology, most of which users should not see. | | | Tim Berners-Lee: From the beginning, they've been making the web into a powerful universal space of information, and in that respect, they have not changed at all. | | | Tim Berners-Lee: I think in the end the vast amount of commerce will be electronic because for one thing, it will rely on digital signature for security. |
