  4. Anyone who slaps a "this page is best viewed with Browser X" label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network.
    -- Tim Berners-Lee (Technology Review (July 1996))

  8. Society has to be fractal -- people want to be involved on a lot of different levels. The need for things that are local and special will create enclaves. And those will give us the diversity of ideas we need to survive.

  9. The Conversation: Tim Berners-Lee wants everyone to own their own data – his plan needs state and consumer support to work. “Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the world wide web, has released an important new book about the problems we face online and how to solve them. It is called This is for Everyone, meaning that the internet should be for all. The philosophy espoused in the book is that […]

  10. The Verge: Sir Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think AI will destroy the web. “Now, Tim is not exactly a pessimist — you’ll hear in our conversation that he still has a lot of optimism about the web and what it can do. But he’s also concerned that we’ve strayed too far from his original vision of the web as a democratizing force for knowledge and creativity.”

  11. Tim Berners‑Lee pushes back on Sundar Pichai’s warning that AI will wreck the web.

  12. I'm just starting the book, "This Is for Everyone: The Unfinished Story of the World Wide Web" by Tim Berners-Lee (the founder/inventor of the World Wide Web)

    I'm not super far into it, yet, but it seems like a good and important read

    > „[…] We need a Cern-like not-for-profit body driving forward international AI research. […]“

  15. Ah yes, the prophecy of 2025: people finally discover "personal data storage" like it's some cutting-edge tech, while Tim Berners-Lee facepalms in the background. 🙄💾 Apparently, the #revolution starts when people realize data isn't just for megacorps to hoard. Groundbreaking! 🤦‍♂️
