هميشه و در همه ادوار کساني بوده اند که با خوش فکري و ارائه ايده اي بکر و تازه نقطه عطفي در عصر و زمانه خود بوده اند. حال مي خواهيم به بررسي کوتاهي بپردازيم از کساني که با طرح و ايده هاي خود گامهاي مثبت و اساسي در وب و اينترنت برداشته اند:

 1. لري پيج و سرگئي برين (موسسين شرکت گوگل)

اين دو نفر بيش از همه به موتور هاي جستجو و ارائه خدمات رايگان به کاربران تاثير گذار بودند و در واقع امروزه واژه جستجو يا Search مترادف شده است با گوگل. اين دونفر در زمان دانشجويي سنگ بناي گوگل  را در سال ۱۹۹۷ گذاشتند و در مدت کوتاهي توانستند با ايده هاي بکر و خلاقانه غول جستجوگر اينترنتي آن زمان يعني ياهو را به زانو در آوردند.

 2. ديويد فيلو و جري يانگ (موسسين شرکت ياهو)

 اين دو هم دانشجوي دانشگاه استنفورد بودند و در زمان دانشجويي سايت راهنماي جري براي شبکه جهاني وب را راه اندازي کردند که متشکل بود از ليست وب سايت ها جهت دسترسي کاربران به آن که با استقبال از آن جرقه ساخت موتور جستجو و ايجاد ياهو به ذهنشان متبادر گرديد.

3. بيل گيتس (خالق و مالک مايکروسافت)

Introduction

Research is the search for new knowledge, and it is thus distinct from the routine application of known results. The "re" in "research" is a misnomer. When you perform research, your goal is to add to human knowledge by discovering, inventing or creating what was previously unknown. How does a student learn to do research? As teachers of students, especially graduate students, we are faced with the task of transmitting our research skills. This process is intensely personal, involving extensive interaction. A graduate student who works for years with a research advisor is very much like an apprentice learning a skill or craft. The university provides the setting in which that apprenticeship takes place, much like a workshop where a craft like violin making is passed on. While it is unlikely that the teaching of research skills can be formalized, the following is a compendium of advice and guidance on research that I have given to my students over the years.

Advice on Getting Started in Research

1. Research is hard.

Extending human knowledge is a difficult task. Discovering new and useful ideas is like attacking a granite cliff with your bare hands. Once in a while a small fragment breaks loose and progress is made. Each new advance is a gift to the world that contributes to the sum of human knowledge.

2. Research is exciting and addictive.

The moment of discovery provides an unbelievable rush of excitement. Researchers live for this high, and it can be addictive. It is one of the two best legal highs.

3. What is a good research problem?

The importance of having a good research problem cannot be overemphasized. A good research problem has either significant intellectual content or important practical ramifications. The best research problems have both. Which aspect you choose to emphasize will ultimately depend upon your personal tastes and preferences.

4. How to find good problems.

It can be difficult to find good problems. The difference between an experienced researcher and a novice lies in knowing what problems to work on. An experienced researcher knows where the boundaries of knowledge lie and has a sense of which problems are solvable and important. Finding good problems is one of the most crucial things you can do as a researcher. In general, the best way to find good research problems is to do research. By doing research you will .....
