The annually bestowed honour was revealed at the D&AD Global Awards Ceremony & Dinner in London.

“HTML, URL, HTTP – all these things that people around the world take for granted are down to Sir Tim Berners-Lee,’ said D&AD President Tony Davidson. “He had the vision to create a network that allows people to share knowledge freely across the Internet. The amazing thing is that he told everyone how to use it for free by – you guessed it – posting it on the Internet.

Thanks to his innovation, designers have taken the Web to whole new levels of creativity, resulting in 2 D&AD Black Pencil-awarded websites in 2 years.”

“Think back ten years and you realise how much the Web’s changed our lives. We bid for products on eBay, communicate with Skype and Facebook, and discover new music that has never been played over the airwaves. We share files, photos and advice with people we’ll never meet and create whole other worlds for ourselves in Second Life - and this is only the beginning of the Web’s potential.

We owe the very shape of our lives today to Sir Tim.”

That’s right folks! Never be fooled again…although ‘they’ may put on a good show, and have some human mannerisms (see above) figured out, you will now be able to single them out where ever you go with the handy Tokyoflash biohazard watch.

Not only does this watch err…tell the time. But the manufactures go on to describe…

’ The Biohazard watch uses an advanced color LCD display to simulate the effect you might see on Mr. Spocks tri-coder or in many Science Fiction films. The readout, in fact, tells the time by counting the colored segments’.

Yes that’s right…. We quote… ‘to simulate the effect you might see on Mr. Spocks tri-coder’ Now if that doesn’t sell the dang thing to you I don’t know what will.

So next time you see somebody pulling the ‘thumbs up sign’, or the ‘Heyyyy don’t I know you?’ (see above) remember where you saw this handy (wristy), possible life-saving gadget!

Cause if you don’t spot them first they will eat your head! With err…like a sucking kinda slurping action, and like your head it just like explodes…wow its like totally trippy!
