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

The concept of the Web is of universal readership.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
I think IT projects are about supporting social systems - about communications between people and machines. They tend to fail due to cultural issues.
Tim Berners-Lee

The Web does not just connect machines, it connects people.

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 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.

The Mobile Web Initiative is important - information must be made seamlessly available on any device.

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.

It was the academic community who wired up their universities so it was put together by smart, well-meaning people who thought it was a good idea.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
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.

The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
Compared even to the development of the phone or TV, the Web developed very quickly.
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
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
That idea of URL was the basic clue to the universality of the Web. That was the only thing I insisted upon.

If you are not on the web, you will have problems accessing services.

I have built a moat around myself, along with ways over that moat so that people can ask questions.
