Tim Berners-Lee

The original idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space where you can communicate through sharing information.

The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.

The Web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect — to help people work together — and not as a technical toy.

The dream behind the Web is of a common information space in which we communicate by sharing information. Its universality is essential. The fact that a hypertext link can point to anything, be it personal, local or global, be it draft or highly polished, be it a graphic, a movie, a sound or a text, is what makes it so powerful.

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

The Web is not just a collection of documents. It's a collection of people.

Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves.

The Web is an open platform, and that's what makes it so powerful. It's a platform for innovation, for creativity, for collaboration.

The Web is a tool for humanity, and we have to make sure it's used for good.

The Web is a reflection of ourselves. It's a reflection of our hopes, our dreams, our fears.

The Web is a global conversation, and we all have a responsibility to make sure that conversation is productive and respectful.

The Web is a powerful force for good in the world, but it's also a powerful force for harm. We have to be vigilant.

The Web is a public resource, and we have to protect it.

The Web is a human right.

The Web is for everyone.

The Web is an open, distributed, collaborative platform.

The Web is a tool for empowerment.

The Web is a platform for innovation.

The Web is a platform for creativity.

The Web is a platform for collaboration.
