Tim Berners-Lee Ted Talk


http://www.ted.com/talks/tim_berners_lee_on_the_next_web.html
In this Ted Talk from 2009, Tim Berners-Lee discusses the 20th anniversary of the World Wide Web, it's history, value and other factors and then discusses more changes for the future. He teaches the audience different lessons, and suggests that people put up raw, unadulterated data. A powerful quote from the speech is when he says, "I wanted to reframe the way we use information, the way we work together," explaining some of the history of the World Wide Web, and what he expected to happen in the future.

He gives the audience different lessons and advice for using the Internet. He wants people to link data, because he wants that to be the next part of the World Wide Web. He wants every person to do their work in linking data and becoming connected. He wants everyone to harness their frustration and to see the potential, because ideas and possibilities can become realities. He then wants the audience to involve others because he said the exciting parts of the new technologies were not the technology itself, but rather the community that helped create it. Technology is not what make experiences great, but the people who you are with that help the situations. Finally he discusses that you can never stop. He explains that if you were to think that you created the Internet you could lay back and relax, not worrying about anything else, but he could never stop. He is passionately involved in his new project that he calls Linked Data and is hoping that it will become just as much of a success as his twenty year old World Wide Web.
