Tim Berners-Lee wins Award (and money!)

15th April 2004 by Simon

It’s great to see Tim Berners-Lee (who as we all know is the Englishman that invented the World Wide Web when at CERN in 1989) has finally received a financial award for his world-changing efforts.

The Millennium Technology Prize was awarded to him by the Finnish Technology Award Foundation and follows on from the Knighthood he received at the end of 2003.

Thank goodness and three cheers.
