More quotes by Tim Berners-Lee
The goal of the Web is to serve humanity. We build it now so that those who come to it later will be able to create things that we cannot ourselves imagine.
Tim Berners-Lee
The ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world. We clump into families, associations, and companies.
Tim Berners-Lee
When you go onto the internet, if you really rummage around randomly then how do you hope to find something of any of value?
Tim Berners-Lee
One of the things I like about the computer that I use is that I can write a program on it or I can download a program on to it and run it. That's kind of important to me, and that's also kind of important to the whole future of the internet... obviously a closed platform is a serious brake on innovation.
Tim Berners-Lee
I'm an optimist about humanity in general, I suppose.
Tim Berners-Lee
We need diversity of thought in the world to face the new challenges.
Tim Berners-Lee
Web applications will become more and more ubiquitous throughout our human environment, with walls, automobile dashboards, refrigerator doors all serving as displays giving us a window onto the Web.
Tim Berners-Lee
Everybody who runs a Web site knows we're not assured of compatibility, and we could end up with a split.
Tim Berners-Lee
I don't know whether machine translation will eventually get good enough to allow us to browse people's websites in different languages so you can see how they live in different countries.
Tim Berners-Lee
Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network.
Tim Berners-Lee
When you understand things, there's no more magic.
Tim Berners-Lee
The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large.
Tim Berners-Lee
It is the the duty of a Webmaster to allocate URIs which you will be able to stand by in 2 years, in 20 years, in 200 years.
Tim Berners-Lee
AI is not just heading for our industry, it will radically change the machinery we use in marketing.
Tim Berners-Lee
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web. The important thing is that it's managed responsibly.
Tim Berners-Lee
The story of the growth of the World Wide Web can be measured by the number of Web pages that are published and the number of links between pages. The Web's ability to allow people to forge links is why we refer to it as an abstract information space, rather than simply a network.
Tim Berners-Lee
[With AI] Somebody's going to have to think of a completely new algorithm, a new way of doing goal-based planning.
Tim Berners-Lee
The nice thing about programming at the RDF level is that you can just say, I'll ask for all the books. You can ask for all the shelves. You can ask for a given shelf whether a book was on it. And you're not worrying so much about the underlying syntax.
Tim Berners-Lee
We should work toward a universal linked information system, in which generality and portability are more important than fancy graphics techniques and complex extra facilities.
Tim Berners-Lee
Now, if someone tries to monopolize the Web, for example pushes proprietary variations on network protocols, then that would make me unhappy.
Tim Berners-Lee
