More quotes by 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
Software companies should take more responsibility for security holes, especially in browsers and e-mail clients. There are some straightforward things the industry should be doing right now to fix things, and I don't know why they haven't been done yet.
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
AI is not just heading for our industry, it will radically change the machinery we use in marketing.
Tim Berners-Lee
That idea of URL was the basic clue to the universality of the Web. That was the only thing I insisted upon.
Tim Berners-Lee
The dream behind the Web is of a common information space in which we communicate by sharing information.
Tim Berners-Lee
Any enterprise CEO really ought to be able to ask a question that involves connecting data across the organization, be able to run a company effectively, and especially to be able to respond to unexpected events. Most organizations are missing this ability to connect all the data together.
Tim Berners-Lee
Things can change so fast on the internet.
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
We shouldn't build a technology to colour, or grey out, what people say. The media in general is balanced, although there are a lot of issues to be addressed that the media rightly pick up on.
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
In many ways, people growing up with the Web and now the Semantic Web take the power at their fingertips for granted.
Tim Berners-Lee
The internet explodes when somebody has the creativity to look at a piece of data that's put there for one reason and realise they can connect it with something else.
Tim Berners-Lee
It was the academic community who wired up their universities so it was put together by smart, well-meaning people who thought it was a good idea.
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
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
In '93 to '94, every browser had its own flavor of HTML. So it was very difficult to know what you could put in a Web page and reliably have most of your readership see it.
Tim Berners-Lee
Computers might not find the solutions to our problems, but they would be able to do the bulk of the legwork required, assist our human minds in intuitively finding ways through the maze.
Tim Berners-Lee
People keep asking me what I think of it now that it's done. Hence my protest: The Web is not done!
Tim Berners-Lee
The concept of the Web is of universal readership.
