The most important thing that was new was the idea of URI-or URL, that any piece of information anywhere should have an identifier, which will allow you to get hold of it.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image

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

Tim Berners-Lee
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.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
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
Image
Universality has been the key enabler of innovation on the Web and will continue to be so in the future.

AI is not just heading for our industry, it will radically change the machinery we use in marketing.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves.

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.
