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.

  • Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch.

  • The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past.

  • 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.

  • The Google algorithm was a significant development. I've had thank-you emails from people whose lives have been saved by information on a medical website or who have found the love of their life on a dating website.
