Inventor of the World Wide Web Launches International Foundation

Posted Friday, September 19th, 2008 at 9:35 am by Amy (21 posts)

It seems like good news has been a little hard to come by recently so I was particularly happy this morning when I learned that Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the true inventor of the Web, has announced the creation of The World Wide Web Foundation.

The Web Foundation will focus its programs around research, technology and social development, with a particular emphasis on global collaboration and outreach to underserved populations. Currently, only about 20 percent of people access the Web.

The Knight Foundation has provided a $5 million dollar grant to get the Web Foundation started on its path of connecting humanity via technology.
