He began to study an easier way to share information among the scientists using computers as tools and to develop a functional system able to keep and restore data. This led Lee and his team into the creation of Internet.

The Lee’s team at CERN started working in the idea of interconnection by hyperlinks and hypertext based on the HTML language and HTTP protocol created by them. These set the basis of the URL web system that they implemented by establishing a computing net interconnected with the help of browsers that can locate and display remote information and data.

Shintoism is the Japanese traditional religion, but its origins are rooted back in ancient (even prehistoric) times, when Japan does not exist yet. That’s why there is no known historical founder of Shintoism. It’s known that it became named Shintoism centuries after it started, as a way to separate it from other religious practices as Buddhism.

Perhaps, it is its association as main character of the Japanese culture that led Shintoism (and its rituals and main beliefs) to survive healthy through centuries without a founder, a date of creation, a definite sacred text or a set of homogeneous beliefs.
