Having said that, I know that Tim Berners Lee created the Web, Jon Resig built jQuery and James Dyson designed my vacuum cleaner.
I don't think creating something "you use all day" should qualify you for being famous. Doing something new and very innovative sometimes does though.
Tim Berners Lee may have created the web, but he created it without fonts tags, images, layout and so on. The web exists because of the millions of people who put a lot of work into it including Amazon, Altavista, Google, Yahoo, Netscape and so on.
jQuery lists 21 people in it's team and 8 past members: http://jquery.org/team
Did you buy the very first Dyson vacuum cleaner? (the DC01 in 1993) or one designed by one of it's 1500+ staff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyson_%28company%29
Most products are built by a lot of people but just have a famous leader (who may or may not have made the very first version that you probably never saw).
In 1992 Erwise, ViollawWW and Lynx were created and Mosaic in 1993, Netscape in 1994. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_World_Wide_Web)
That picture was from 1993, though I'd concede I got a few inaccuracies in my comment, however Tim Berners Lee, didn't create the whole web by himself, even in the very early days there were others creating it too, that have now been forgotten.
Re the links: Interesting -- http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/WWW/M... has an SGML DTD for HTML, which mentions images, but that DTD is dated 1995, many years after TBL was speccing the web originally.
An interesting bit of history lost, the first DTDs for HTML, as well as some canonical first pages.
There's always a figurehead that people know, but there's usually a long line of less glamorous people that helped them get famous.
