After I read Alfred Nobel’s will, I thought that it was kind of ridiculous - in the sense that the outstanding scientific advances were generally profitable. Nobel created his advance, dynamite, and he made enough money to fund the Nobel prizes in perpetuity.

IMHO the WWW is an excellent example of an advance which did NOT make its inventor rich. And, therefore, Tim Berners Lee should be awarded a Nobel Prize, hands down.
