re: “Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee”

Did he work at work at (the early) Cisco? Or Sun Microsystems?

Did he work at DARPA?

No, he worked at CERN as an IT engineer/technician. He invented HTML so that he could have manuals available at any terminal at CERN, rather than having to lug a wagon-full of them. It was the first demonstration of a cross-platform solution.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Tim Berners-Lee used his brain to solve the problem.
