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 dream behind the Web is of a common information space in which we communicate by sharing information.

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.

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.

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

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

We can't blame the technology when we make mistakes.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
The Web does not just connect machines, it connects people.
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

If different cultures connect with each other, they are less likely to want to shoot each other.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
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
Image
I suppose it's amazing when you think how many things people get involved in that don't work.

Legend has it that every new technology is first used for something related to sex or pornography. That seems to be the way of humankind.

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
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

That idea of URL was the basic clue to the universality of the Web. That was the only thing I insisted upon.

The Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web. The important thing is that it's managed responsibly.
