More quotes by 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
Web applications will become more and more ubiquitous throughout our human environment, with walls, automobile dashboards, refrigerator doors all serving as displays giving us a window onto the Web.
Tim Berners-Lee
Everybody who runs a Web site knows we're not assured of compatibility, and we could end up with a split.
Tim Berners-Lee
Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves.
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
If you are not on the web, you will have problems accessing services.
Tim Berners-Lee
We can't blame the technology when we make mistakes.
Tim Berners-Lee
E-mail is interesting. We can't live with it, and you can't live without it.
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
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
The Web does not just connect machines, it connects people.
Tim Berners-Lee
Software companies should take more responsibility for security holes, especially in browsers and e-mail clients. There are some straightforward things the industry should be doing right now to fix things, and I don't know why they haven't been done yet.
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
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
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 have built a moat around myself, along with ways over that moat so that people can ask questions.
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 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
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
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
