Inventor of the WWW?

Tim "...inventor of the World Wide Web..."

Not really, in simple terms all Tim did was come up with the DNS system, the rest already existed and there were already other schemes in place which may well have been better in some ways.

H G Wells is the first known inventor of the overall concept.

In his "idea of a Permanent World Encyclopaedia, Wells foresaw a time when every student would have access to a network that connected the corners of the globe serving as a memory for mankind. Wells said this information would be summoned to any properly prepared spot and be thrown upon the screen so that the student may study it in every detail."
