Computers might not find the solutions to our problems, but they would be able to do the bulk of the legwork required, assist our human minds in intuitively finding ways through the maze.

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
Image
We shouldn't build a technology to colour, or grey out, what people say. The media in general is balanced, although there are a lot of issues to be addressed that the media rightly pick up on.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
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.

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.

We need diversity of thought in the world to face the new challenges.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
The concept of the Web is of universal readership.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
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.

Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
The Mobile Web Initiative is important - information must be made seamlessly available on any device.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
We should work toward a universal linked information system, in which generality and portability are more important than fancy graphics techniques and complex extra facilities.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
In '93 to '94, every browser had its own flavor of HTML. So it was very difficult to know what you could put in a Web page and reliably have most of your readership see it.

Image
Things can change so fast on the internet.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
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
Image
The amount of control you have over somebody if you can monitor internet activity is amazing.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
Everybody who runs a Web site knows we're not assured of compatibility, and we could end up with a split.
Tim Berners-Lee
Image
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.

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