Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee may have a different view to you!

Regarding making a profit when you come back from abroad. First of all it has nothing to do with cigarettes.

If you say for instance you go to Poland go out of the town centres and find a gift shop which has attractive prices. The things i buy cost me £4 i sell them for £30 and they sell. It's just a matter of keeping your eyes open and trying to find something which you think may sell back home. I think it's well worth the price of taking a case with you and filling it. It works for me, when i was in Poland last week i earned way over £100 whilst away and brought back a case full of stuff to make another few hundred.
I won't give away the items i buy thats for people to do their own research.

Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, which is one of many applications that run over the Internet. It is certainly very important, but he did not invent the Internet itself, and there are many more applications using the Internet than just the WWW (email, instant messaging, streaming audio/video, VoIP, VPNs, file sharing, etc etc).
