After graduation, , berners - Lee is in Poole, Dorset, England Plessey An engineer in a telecommunications company .1980 year 6 Month to 12 during one month , berners - Li is at the European nuclear research organization in Geneva （CERN） As an independent contractor , During that time , He put forward an idea ： Create a hypertext system based project , It is convenient for researchers to share and update information . meanwhile , He created a prototype system , It's called ENQUIRE.1980 year , berners - Lee left CERN after , He switched to John · Poole graphics computer company , Since then, I have gained computer network experience , And in 1984 In, he returned to as a researcher CERN.

Time soon came 1989 year ,CERN At this time, it has become the largest Internet node in Europe . berners - Li therefore sees an opportunity to combine hypertext systems with the Internet ：

“ I just put the hypertext system and the transmission control protocol 、 The domain name system is integrated , then —— Dada ！—— There is the world wide web … Creating the world wide web is a hopeless chore , Because I'm here CERN At work , The situation without it is very bad . The technology that the world wide web needs , For example, hypertext system 、 Internet and text objects with multiple fonts, etc , Most of them have been designed . All I need to do is put them together . This is a generalized step , To go to a higher level of abstraction , Think of an existing file system as part of a larger virtual file system .”

The first website in the world Info.cern.ch stay CERN build , and CERN On the French border . The website is in 1991 year 8 month 6 Day online , This site explains what the world wide web is , How users use browsers , How to create a web server .

2004 year , Queen Elizabeth II to Berners - Lee presented the order of the Lord Commander of the British Empire .2009 year 4 month , He was elected as a foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences , And be 《 Time 》 The magazine is listed as the times 100 people ： The most important person of this century . stay 2012 At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games , He himself attended the ceremony , To obtain the “ The inventor of the World Wide Web ” The reputation of the .2017 year , Tim · berners - Li Yin “ Invented the world wide web 、 The first browser and the basic protocols and algorithms that enable the expansion of the world wide web ” And get 2016 Turing of the year , A lifetime of fame .
