This Changed Everything: Source Code for WWW x Tim Berners-Lee, an NFT

The source code for the World Wide Web by Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s will be auctioned at Sotheby's.

It is the first historical artifact relating to the invention of the World Wide Web in 1989, offered directly by Sir Tim Berners-Lee himself.
The NFT is composed of four elements all digitally signed:
the original time-stamped files containing the source code;
an animated visualization of the code;
a letter written by Sir Tim reflecting on the code and the process of creating it;
a digital “poster” of the full code created by Sir Tim from the original files using Python including a graphic of his physical signature;

The best thing about NFT is its equivalent to provenance in conservative art, an authenticity mark, a signature. It opens up to more and more people enabling us to look back on the amazing inventions and look forward to new opportunities. Now we can possess not only physical forms in terms of paintings or sculptures but the ideas behind significant even historical events.
