Tim Berners-Lee

We need diversity of thought in the world to face the new challenges.

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.

It's difficult to imagine the power that you're going to have when so many different sorts of data are available.

The concept of the Web is of universal readership.

Cool URIs don't change.

I'm an optimist. I'm sure we will solve the problems of privacy, identity, and reputation on the Web.

The decision to make the Web an open system was necessary for it to be universal.

There was a time when people felt the internet was another world, but now people think it's a tool that we use in this world.

The web is now a public resource on which people, businesses, communities and governments depend.

We need to rethink how we build our society on top of this web thing.

The web is for everyone and collectively we hold the power to change it.

Humanity connected by technology on the web is functioning in a dystopian way. We have online abuse, prejudice, bias, polarisation, fake news, there are lots of ways in which it is broken.

The web is a tool for communicating. With it we can work together to build a better, more peaceful world.

The first step is to make sure everyone has access.

The web is like a canvas, and we are the artists.

If you're looking for the next big thing, and you're looking where everyone else is, you're looking in the wrong place.

Innovation is serendipity, so you don't know what people will make.

The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.

The web is humanity connected by technology.

One of the things I always say is the web is not finished. It's just the tip of the iceberg.
