Tim Berners-Lee is a world famous scientist and a great inventor. But do you know what he invented? Tim was born in London in 1955. His parents were both mathematicians and computer scientists. When he was a boy, his hobby was electronics. He liked playing with different gadgets. He went to Emanuel School and then studied physics at Oxford University from 1973 to 1976.Tim was working at a large scientific laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, when he invented the World Wide Web. He built the first Web browser and server in 1990. In 1991, he created the first website. The first web page address was http://info.cern. ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html, which had information about the WWW project.The World Wide Web didn’t make Tim rich. He gave his invention to the world so everyone can use it for free. He now works at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA and at the University of Southampton in the UK. He and his family live in America. Tim has many awards and prizes for his work. In 1999, Time magazine included him in its list of the 100 most important people of the 20th century. Queen Elizabeth II gave him a knighthood in 1994, so he is now Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He came first in a list of the top living cleverest people in 2007. So next time you look at a website, remember to thank Tim Berners-Lee!
I hope the Sun will become the primary source of energy on our planet, although I’m sure nuclear power plants will continue to be used and maybe more nuclear reactors will be built. Every fifth car will be electric. I’d like to think that doctors will learn to cure and prevent more diseases. And it will be great if new technologies will help to produce enough food for all the people in the world. I also believe that many people will live in smart homes.
I'm very optimistic about our future.

Я надеюсь, что солнце станет основным источником энергии на нашей планете, хотя я уверен(а), что атомные электростанции будут и дальше использоваться и, возможно, будет построено еще больше ядерных реакторов. Каждый пятый автомобиль будет электрическим. Хотелось бы думать, что врачи научатся лечить и предотвращать больше болезней. И будет здорово, если новые технологии производить достаточно еды для всех людей в мире. Я также считаю, что многие люди будут жить в умных домах.

How do I see our planet in 10 years?

Я очень оптимистично отношусь к нашему будущему.
