Tim Berners-Lee Quotes

Cool URIs don’t change Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind being, in the public context, referred to as the inventor of the World Wide Web. What I like is that image to be separate from private life, because celebrity damages private life Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I suppose it’s amazing when you think how many things people get involved in that don’t work Picture Quote #1

There are converging web-related issues cropping up, like privacy and security, that we currently have no way of thinking about. Nobody has thought to look at how people and the web combine as a whole - until now Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s possible to live without the Web. It’s not possible to live without water. But if you’ve got water, then the difference between somebody who is connected to the Web and is part of the information society, and someone who (is not) is growing bigger and bigger Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The world’s urban poor and the illiterate are going to be increasingly disadvantaged and are in danger of being left behind. The web has added a new dimension to the gap between the first world and the developing world. We have to start talking about a human right to connect Picture Quote #1

It was really hard explaining the Web before people just got used to it because they didn’t even have words like click and jump and page Picture Quote #1

Any enterprise CEO really ought to be able to ask a question that involves connecting data across the organization, be able to run a company effectively, and especially to be able to respond to unexpected events.

One way to think about the magnitude of the changes to come is to think about how you went about your business before powerful Web search engines.

The next set of advances will have an different effect, but similar in magnitude Picture Quote #1

Imagine that everything you are typing is being read by the person you are applying to for your first job. Imagine that it’s all going to be seen by your parents and your grandparents and your grandchildren as well Picture Quote #1

One of the things I like about the computer that I use is that I can write a program on it or I can download a program on to it and run it. That’s kind of important to me, and that’s also kind of important to the whole future of the internet... obviously a closed platform is a serious brake on innovation Picture Quote #1

What is a Web year now, about three months? And when people can browse around, discover new things, and download them fast, when we all have agents - then Web years could slip by before human beings can notice Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m very aware there are lots of other people who are just bright and working just as hard, with just the same dedication to make the world a good place Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I don’t know whether machine translation will eventually get good enough to allow us to browse people’s websites in different languages so you can see how they live in different countries Picture Quote #1

The people who designed the tools that make the Net run had their own ideas for the future Picture Quote #1
