Tim Berners-Lee
We can't blame the technology when we make mistakes.
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
Intellectual property is an important legal and cultural issue. Society as a whole has complex issues to face here: private ownership vs. open source, and so on.
Tim Berners-Lee
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.
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
[With AI] Somebody's going to have to think of a completely new algorithm, a new way of doing goal-based planning.
Tim Berners-Lee

Tim Berners-Lee
If different cultures connect with each other, they are less likely to want to shoot each other.
Tim Berners-Lee
The concept of the Web is of universal readership.
Tim Berners-Lee
Technology innovation is starting to explode and having open-source material out there really helps this explosion. You get students and researchers involved and you get people coming through and building start ups based on open source products.
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
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
When you understand things, there's no more magic.
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
To be a hacker - when I use the term - is somebody who is creative and does wonderful things.
