More quotes by Tim Berners-Lee
To be a hacker - when I use the term - is somebody who is creative and does wonderful things.
Tim Berners-Lee
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.
Tim Berners-Lee
When it comes to professionalism, it makes sense to talk about being professional in IT. Standards are vital so that IT professionals can provide systems that last.
Tim Berners-Lee

Tim Berners-Lee

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
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
I'm not a fan of giving a website a simple number like an IQ rating because like people they can vary in all kinds of different ways. So I'd be interested in different organisations labelling websites in different ways.
Tim Berners-Lee
What I do has to be a function of what I can do, not a function of what people ask me to do.
Tim Berners-Lee
Things can change so fast on the internet.
Tim Berners-Lee
Customers need to be given control of their own data-not being tied into a certain manufacturer so that when there are problems they are always obliged to go back to them.
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] ought to be like clay, rather than a sculpture that you observe from a distance.
Tim Berners-Lee
If you are not on the web, you will have problems accessing services.
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
The Mobile Web Initiative is important - information must be made seamlessly available on any device.
Tim Berners-Lee
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.
