"Exactly 20-years-ago today a modest British scientist launched his new invention. At the time, almost no-one noticed but it has since revolutionised our lives.

Tim Berners-Lee called his new invention the "world-wide-web".

Charting the Digital Revolution

I've written an article for Huliq news based on this BBC news article, about a very interesting series, and interactive project the BBC are working on -

Russell Barnes Producer, Digital Revolution

"It was just 20 years ago that a young computer programmer called Tim Berners-Lee approached his supervisor at CERN with a blueprint for linking information online that we know today as the World Wide Web."

"...Digital Revolution (working title), a landmark series of programmes for BBC Two that examines precisely this question." - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8144570.stm.
