CSP Superheros
Timothy J. Berners Lee
Timothy attended the University of Oxford. Some of the academic awards that he won included the ACM Software System Award and the W. Wallace McDowell Award. His biggest contribution to computer science is the World Wide Web, the biggest source of information on the internet. This allowed users to access a plethora of documents which were linked to each using hyperlinks. Tim is also the co-founder and CTO of a start-up, known as Inrupt.com. The website works on developing and endorse Solid, an open-source platform. Solid is a shift away from the World Wide Web we know now, towards a place where the users have control, and mechanized by vast amounts of public and private data. Additionally, it is held to a higher standard and adds new functions such as universal access control and a universal data API, allowing apps to store data in any location.y
Ada Lovelace
One of the earliest female computer scientists was Ada Lovelace, who was born in 1815 and passed away from cancer in 1852. Ada never met her famous poet father since her parents split up not long after she was born. Ada's mother, who had herself had training in mathematics, demanded that Ada receive individual instruction while she was growing up, which was rare for women at the time. Ada first met Charles Babbage, who is today regarded as the inventor of the computer, when she was 17 years old. She was immediately captivated by his work on the Difference engine. The Difference Engine was a complex calculator that used the theory of finite resources to do calculations. Babbage had a concept for a new device before the Difference Engine was finished: the Analytical Engine. Babbage required someone to interpret a memoir about the new engine that had been written in French by an Italian scientist. Ada Lovelace, a reliable companion, caught his attention. Ada translated the book over the course of nine months, adding her own commentary. Her writings predicted the use of the engine for a variety of futuristic devices, including procedures to solve certain mathematical problems and music produced by computers.
Larry Page
Along with Sergey Brin, Larry Page is an American computer scientist and entrepreneur who helped build the Google search engine. It quickly rose to prominence as one of the most popular websites online. Google Inc., the business founded by Page and Brin, has grown to provide more than 50 Internet services and products, ranging from e-mail and online document production to a web browser, social media platforms, and software for mobile phones and tablet computers. In order to become Google's president of products, Page resigned from his position as CEO in 2001. Eric Schmidt, a business professional in technology, took his post as CEO. He and Brin continued to be directly active in operating Google, though. By 2004, 200 million people each day were using the search engine. Google Inc.'s first public offering (IPO), which was conducted on August 19, 2004, brought in more than $3.8 billion for Page. For $1.65 billion in shares, Google acquired YouTube in 2006, making it the most popular website for user-submitted streaming videos. 2011 saw Page resuming his role as CEO of Google. In August 2015, Google underwent a restructuring and became a division of the recently formed holding company Alphabet Inc. Alphabet's new CEO is Page.
