More quotes by Tim Berners-Lee
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
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 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
Things can change so fast on the internet.
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
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
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.
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
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
Universality has been the key enabler of innovation on the Web and will continue to be so in the future.
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 Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web. The important thing is that it's managed responsibly.
Tim Berners-Lee
If different cultures connect with each other, they are less likely to want to shoot each other.
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
Acceptance is the spiritual hammock.
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
Now, if someone tries to monopolize the Web, for example pushes proprietary variations on network protocols, then that would make me unhappy.
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
I'm an optimist about humanity in general, I suppose.
