2/ Tim Berners Lee, proposing the World Wide Web in 1991. “The project started with the philosophy that much academic information should be freely available to anyone.”
3/ Linus Torvalds proposing Linux, also in 1991. “I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.”
4/ Marc Andreessen proposing images for web browsers, in 1993. “I’d like to propose a new, optional HTML tag: IMG”
5/ And, of course, Satoshi proposing Bitcoin, [18] years ago today. “A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without the burdens of going through a financial institution“
