Then one day Mr. Berners-Lee had the bright notion of hyperlinking files on different people's computers. If two scientists did that to two files in opposite corners of the world it should be theoretically possible for one of them to click on the hyperlink for that file and download it to his or her computer with no further ado via this Inter-Networking system they've been using for UseNet and Archie transfers.
So he did what any good underling would do and handed a proposal to his manager at CERN, thereby opening a Pandora's Box of untold good and evil that can never be shut again.
