Tim Berners-Lee
We need diversity of thought in the world to face the new challenges.
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
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
Acceptance is the spiritual hammock.
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
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
Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.

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
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
I suppose it's amazing when you think how many things people get involved in that don't work.
Tim Berners-Lee
On the web the thinking of cults can spread very rapidly and suddenly a cult which was 12 people who had some deep personal issues suddenly find a formula which is very believable.
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 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
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
What I do has to be a function of what I can do, not a function of what people ask me to do.
