Check out the list of pioneers that you haven’t heard of!
1. Author of first web browser: Mark Lowell Andreessen
I am sure he is one of the pioneers that you haven’t heard of. This American entrepreneur and software engineer gave life to the world of internet. He is responsible for the development of first ever web browser in the history of internet called, “Mosaic”. Even though the browser’s popularity decreased and ultimately it’s usage was discontinued, Mark has done a commendable job for which all of us should be grateful. He is also the co-founder of Netscape.
2. First mobile developer: Martin Cooper
American Engineer Martin Cooper is recognized as one of pioneers in the mobile communications industry. He has filed a total of 11 patents in the field of technology and is the developer of first ever mobile phone called Dynatac 8000X. Giving rise to an important invention in 1980s, Martin is known to be the “Father of mobile phones”.
3. First ever YouTuber: Javed Karim
The list of pioneers that you haven’t heard of includes the first ever Youtuber. Javed Karim is a German-American internet businessman and the co-founder of popular video website, www.Youtube.com.

The 19 seconds video that featured Javed was shot at San Diego zoo by Yakov Lapitsky. Here is the link to world’s first ever youtube video!
4. First ever blogger: Justin Hall
The pioneer of blogging, Justin Hall is an American journalist and entrepreneur. Blogging came into existence in the 1990s. It has been a personal space of expression for everyone since then. The blogger has shared all his life experiences in the coolest possible way in his blog, http://links.net/ . It is worth a read not because it focuses on a number of interesting facts but because it is the “first ever” blog someone ever created.
Even though we are well aware about the internet, the mobile phone, YouTube and blogs, I’m sure only a few people knew who all started these. These pioneers that you haven’t heard of, have secured a place in the history of technology!
