The only names I recognised offhand are Steve Jobs, & Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Tim B-L came up with the World Wide Web, but there had to already be the Internet in place on which he could hang his innovation. The Internet grew from the U.S. military system called 'Arpanet' when it was realised that connecting computers would have immense effects in the future. The UK, USA & - I think - Germany collaborated at a time when such a Net would have use in the Cold War. In the USA, the team at Stanford University worked with the team at London University, one of whom was my late cousin Dr Adrian Victor Stokes, whose brief was concerned with the implementation of E-mail in the UK, as well as the invention of a common computer language. There is a plaque on a wall at Stamford that lists the pioneers involved, & Adrian's name is there. He was disabled from birth with Spina Bifida, but there was nothing wrong with his brain! He died in April 2020, aged (almost) 75.
