scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee. This revolutionary invention took place in 1989,
while Berners-Lee was working at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear
Research) in Switzerland. Although the Internet already existed as a
communication network between computers, what Berners-Lee introduced was
a global information system accessible and manageable for the general public.

Berners-Lee's contribution consisted of three fundamental technologies that

remain the basis of today's web: HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), which is
the format of web pages; the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier), which provides
a unique address for each information resource available on the web; and
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), which is the method by which data is
transferred and information is accessed.
What distinguished the World Wide Web was its ability to link documents and
information through hyperlinks, allowing users to navigate from one resource to
another with a simple click, regardless of where they were hosted in the world.
This ease of access and connection has radically transformed the way people
seek and share information, communicate, work, and entertain themselves.
Berners-Lee made the decision not to patent his invention, opting instead to
make it public domain. This choice was crucial to the rapid development and
global adoption of the web, allowing it to become an unprecedented universal
communication and information tool.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee's invention of the World Wide Web is not only one of the
United Kingdom's most significant achievements in the field of engineering and

Originally seen as a luxury accessible only to a few, the telephone gradually

became an essential tool for personal and business communication in Mexico,
just as it did in many parts of the world. The implementation of telephony in
Mexico followed its invention and adoption in more industrialized countries,
experiencing significant growth at the beginning of the 20th century.

This advance made it possible to improve long-distance communication within

the country, facilitating commerce, public administration and the coordination of
essential services. Furthermore, telephony played a crucial role in the
modernization of many areas of Mexican life, from improving emergency services
to strengthening social and business networks. Over time, the technological
evolution of the telephone has followed an impressive course, moving from the
first disc models to the sophisticated mobile phones and smartphones that
dominate the market today.
In Mexico, this transition has not only reflected global trends, but has also driven
significant changes in social and economic dynamics. Mobile telephony, in
particular, has had a profound impact, offering new opportunities for economic
development, financial inclusion and access to information.

The telephone, from its invention to its current evolution, exemplifies how an
invention can transform human communication and interaction on a global scale.
In Mexico, its adoption and adaptation have been fundamental for the progress
towards a more connected and informed society, demonstrating the country's
capacity to integrate innovative technologies for the benefit of its development
and social well-being.
MOTOR TO REACTION

credited for his pioneering role in the development of radar as we know it today,
especially for its use in detecting and locating enemy aircraft before and during
the Second War. World.
In 1935, Watson-Watt patented the idea of radar (Radio Detection and Ranging)
and demonstrated its feasibility to the United Kingdom Air Ministry, proposing a
system that could detect enemy aircraft at a distance through the use of radio
waves.
This system was soon developed and implemented along the British coast,
forming the network known as the Chain Home, which was crucial to the defense
of the United Kingdom during the Battle of Britain in 1940. It is important to
mention that, although Watson-Watt is a central figure in the history of radar, other
scientists and engineers from different countries also carried out fundamental
research and parallel developments in the field of radar. For example, in
Germany, Christian Hülsmeyer patented a device for detecting ships in fog, an
early form of radar, in 1904. In the United States, Albert H. Taylor and Leo C.
Young, working at the Anacostia Naval Research Station, did crucial experiments
in detecting objects using radio waves in the 1920s.
