Berners-Lee, the World Wide Web inventor, is the son of British mathematicians and computer scientists Mary Lee Woods and Conway Berners-Lee. He worked on the first commercially built electronic computer, the Ferranti Mark 1. In college, Berners-Lee built a computer out of an old television set.
Before settling on “the Web,” Berners-Lee thought of the names “Information Mesh,” “The Information Mine,” and “Mine of Information.” The concept www3 refers to a subdomain name.

The fashion industry and the NFTs

One of the most relevant applications of NFTs is its ability to tie itself to a physical product offered by a brand. The token becomes the embodiment of the creation in the digital world, including luxury items, rare sneakers, or watches.

Through the issuance of NFT by brands, consumers have proof of purchase and a guarantee of the authenticity of their product. Several players have already positioned themselves to support companies in this area, such as the blockchains Arianee, GoodsID, and Aura, launched by the LVMH group.

Crypto in Mexico

Currently, Mexico allows the use of cryptocurrencies in establishments whose owners are originally from America, such as Starbucks, Burger King, Mcdonald's, and Shake Shack.

Although it is not yet a legal currency in Mexico, its use is not illegal, according to the notices issued by the Condusef and the Bank of Mexico regarding this technology. In Mexico, Bitcoin is legitimated and recognized as a mean of payment and transmission of value without being legal tender.
