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 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
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 Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web. The important thing is that it's managed responsibly.
Tim Berners-Lee
Technology innovation is starting to explode and having open-source material out there really helps this explosion. You get students and researchers involved and you get people coming through and building start ups based on open source products.
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
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.
Tim Berners-Lee

Tim Berners-Lee
If different cultures connect with each other, they are less likely to want to shoot each other.
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
It's a new medium, it's a universal medium and it's not itself a medium which inherently makes people do good things, or bad things. It allows people to do what they want to do more efficiently.
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
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
The Mobile Web Initiative is important - information must be made seamlessly available on any device.
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
I suppose it's amazing when you think how many things people get involved in that don't work.
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
I want to know if I look up a whole lot of books about some form of cancer that that's not going to get to my insurance company and I'm going to find my insurance premium is going to go up by 5% because they've figured I'm looking at those books.
Tim Berners-Lee
When you understand things, there's no more magic.
