Mainstream technology has never earned a significant notice from the society, but the election of a new president has brought aboard a new philosophy. The society has found it in its good graces to bestow its highest honor, a Fellowship of the Royal Society, to someone outside the circle of high science. Tim Berners-Lee, the man responsible for the World Wide Web's address system, was recently tossed a fellowship allowing him to rub elbows with the 360-year-old institution's elite.
