We need diversity of thought in the world to face the new challenges.
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
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

Tim Berners-Lee

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
The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large.
Tim Berners-Lee
My own personal preference is that the consumer, the individual person should be protected because individual people and the difference between individual people and the diversity we have between people on the planet is so important.
Tim Berners-Lee
The goal of the Web is to serve humanity. We build it now so that those who come to it later will be able to create things that we cannot ourselves imagine.
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
I suppose it's amazing when you think how many things people get involved in that don't work.
Tim Berners-Lee
Things can change so fast on the internet.
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
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.
