That’s like saying the Renaissance was nothing special because they were just building on the work of other people. Congratulations, you just described the entirety of human invention. Someone had to be first and there is a reason it was CERN. When you throw money at brilliant people sometimes they come up with brilliant solutions to mundane problems.
- kortilla 3y agoThe web wasn’t a significant jump though over HyperCard, gopher, etc. It was nothing like the leap forward that TCP/IP brought us. Put another way, the internet today is completely usable for transferring data across the globe in an instant without Tim’s contribution. The web is not what makes the internet good. If the web is used as a justification for cern, cern is a huge waste of money because that’s a trivial invention.
