Tim Berners-Lee

I was lucky enough to invent the Web at the time when the internet already existed - and had for 20 years.

The vision I have for the Web is about anything being potentially connected with anything.

The web is a tool for humanity, and we must ensure it serves humanity's best interests.

When something is such a creative medium as the web, the limits to it are our imagination.

The most exciting thing is not the technology, it's the way people use it.

The web is a world of information, and it's up to us to make sense of it.

I hope we will use the Net to cross barriers and connect cultures.

The web is not a network of computers, but a network of people.

The future of the web is about connecting things that have never been connected before.

We need to be able to give the web new instructions, to program it to do new things.

The goal of the Web is to serve humanity.

The web is a reflection of our society and that mirror is going to be reflecting what we see. If we do not like what we see in that mirror the problem is not to fix the mirror, we have to fix society.

The principle of universality allows the web to work no matter what hardware, software, network connection or language you use and regardless of whether you have a disability.

The web is a tool for democracy, but only if we fight for it.

Creativity is a process, not an event.

The web is a collaborative medium, not a broadcast medium.

The great thing about the web is its simplicity.

The web is a platform for innovation, and we must keep it open for that innovation to continue.

The web is a place where people can do anything they can imagine.

The web is a tool for education, and it has the potential to educate everyone on the planet.
