Benedict XVI - born Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger; 16 April 1927
For me his decision to resign as a Pope is okay, because the Pope stated that the reason for his decision was his declining health due to old age.

Internet has been the most useful technology of the modern
times which helps us not only in our daily lives, but also our personal
and professional lives developments. The internet helps us achieve this
in several different ways.
No one owns Internet, although several organizations the world over collaborate in its functioning and development. The high-speed, fiber-optic cables (called backbones) through which the bulk of the Internet data travels are owned by telephone companies in their respective countries. The Internet grew out of the Advanced Research Projects Agency's Wide Area Network (then called ARPANET) established by the US Department Of Defense in 1960s for collaboration in military research among business and government laboratories. Later universities and other US institutions connected to it. This resulted in ARPANET growing beyond everyone's expectations and acquiring the name 'Internet.' The development of hypertext based technology (called World Wide web, WWW, or just the Web) provided means of displaying text, graphics, and animations, and easy search and navigation tools that triggered Internet's explosive worldwide growth.
