More quotes by 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
It was never clear that it wouldn't just stop (the WWW). Any time during that exponential growth, it could have stalled. I think we were never very confident until 1993.
Tim Berners-Lee
The original idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space where you can communicate through sharing information.
Tim Berners-Lee
If you are not on the web, you will have problems accessing services.
Tim Berners-Lee
Acceptance is the spiritual hammock.
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
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
The concept of the Web is of universal readership.
Tim Berners-Lee
If different cultures connect with each other, they are less likely to want to shoot each other.
Tim Berners-Lee
The amount of control you have over somebody if you can monitor internet activity is amazing.
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
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
Compared even to the development of the phone or TV, the Web developed very quickly.
Tim Berners-Lee
The dream behind the Web is of a common information space in which we communicate by sharing information.
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
Everybody who runs a Web site knows we're not assured of compatibility, and we could end up with a split.
Tim Berners-Lee
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
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 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
When you go onto the internet, if you really rummage around randomly then how do you hope to find something of any of value?
