We shouldn't build a technology to colour, or grey out, what people say. The media in general is balanced, although there are a lot of issues to be addressed that the media rightly pick up on.

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

Physicists analyze systems. Web scientists, however, can create the systems.

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

Sites need to be able to interact in one single, universal space.

I think IT projects are about supporting social systems-about communications between people and machines. They tend to fail due to cultural issues.

The Mobile Web Initiative is important - information must be made seamlessly available on any device.

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 challenge is to manage the Web in an open way-not too much bureaucracy, not subject to political or commercial pressures. The U.S. should demonstrate that it is prepared to share control with the world.

What is a Web year now, about three months? And when people can browse around, discover new things, and download them fast, when we all have agents - then Web years could slip by before human beings can notice.

Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch.

The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large.

Everybody who runs a Web site knows we're not assured of compatibility, and we could end up with a split.

I basically wrote the code and the specs and documentation for how the client and server talked to each other.

Any good software engineer will tell you that a compiler and an interpreter are interchangeable.

That idea of URL was the basic clue to the universality of the Web. That was the only thing I insisted upon.

The surest way to return to the people's business is to listen to the people themselves: We need to drop this whole scheme of federally controlled health care, start over, and work together on real reforms at the state level that will contain costs and won't leave America trillions of dollars deeper in debt.

I did as much research as I could and I took ownership of this illness, because if you don't take care of your body, where are you going to live?
