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
Image
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.

Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
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.

The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large.

If you are not on the web, you will have problems accessing services.

The concept of the Web is of universal readership.

The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect - to help people work together - and not as a technical toy.

Intellectual property is an important legal and cultural issue. Society as a whole has complex issues to face here: private ownership vs. open source, and so on.

Now, if someone tries to monopolize the Web, for example pushes proprietary variations on network protocols, then that would make me unhappy.

E-mail is interesting. We can't live with it, and you can't live without it.

[The internet] ought to be like clay, rather than a sculpture that you observe from a distance.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
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
Image
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.

The Mobile Web Initiative is important - information must be made seamlessly available on any device.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
I think IT projects are about supporting social systems - about communications between people and machines. They tend to fail due to cultural issues.

AI is not just heading for our industry, it will radically change the machinery we use in marketing.

Image
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.

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.

The ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world. We clump into families, associations, and companies.
