Tim Berners-Lee: A Magna Carta for the Web – TED TALK
In this enlightening TED talk, Mr. Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, talks about how far we have gone since the Web was first invented and released to the world in the late eighties.
Since its launch in 1989, 40% of the world is now using the World Wide Web, allowing us to enjoy unlimited access to lots of freely available open data and connectivity. It is a conduit for free speech and connectivity, opening new possibilities for personal and professional gain.
“We love the fact that the Web is open, it allows us to talk, anybody can talk to anybody. It doesn’t matter who we are.”
-Tim Berners-Lee
He also made sure to remind us about surveillance and security, that there may be people out there that might use and abuse these data.
“We can’t just use the Web; we have to worry about the underlying infrastructure of the whole thing. Is it in fact of a quality that we need?”
-Tim Berners-Lee
Now with Web in it’s 25th year, Mr. Berners-Lee invites us to think about what type of Web we want.
