www.ted.com 20 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web.

@manicdepressive88 I didn’t get that. It seemed like he tested for the moment, but, realizing he didn’t get the grab, moved smoothly along. that’s a very large claim to ask to be reacted to.

@manicdepressive88 I found it sad. The man is brilliant and deserves at least the humblest applause for his achievements and vision.

All respect paid,
How hard would it have been for WC3 to just include a credible and diverse group of real-world data technology pro’s into their dev panel so that you don’t get RDF syntax/languages (count ‘em folks 3, and none of them sufficiently acceptable) that are in near total disconnect with real world, real web enterprise, commerce, and consumer use mechanics?!

TBL is the most generous and genius man in history. He could have dwarfed the Walton’s and Gate’s in wealth with this powerful program, but he chose to give it to the world for free. He sacrificed wealth for the freedom of information.

By creating a movement worldwide where everyday people YOU, ME, ENTERPRISE, and through CITIZEN JOURNALISM, USER GENERATED social networking content – all share raw data on the web – i.e. “grassroots stuff” – eventually the government will have to follow suit. Enterprise can share raw data and get their customers to run the business, develop company strategy. Govt can share raw data to get citizen contribution to policy making. Why is everyone always so pessimistic on these things!?

Berners-Lee’s point about government and enterprise not wanting to share raw data, because they want to “make a beautiful website for it first…” but isn’t it because it exposes so much that government’s / enterprises either want to hide; or control how it is used/interpreted?!

“We want the raw unadulterated data” – Have you considered they don’t want you to have the raw data…

Most of us know that the US military invented the internet. The military invented the internet but this Tim invented the world wide web. Larry G. Roberts could be labeled as one of the people who invented the internet because he built its first links: between the University of California and Stanford Research Institute in 1969. Known as ARPANET, the network was gradually expanded to link military, scientific and educational institutions all over the country.

There he is the sodding Shyster, selling us out to the UK Govt.
Soft soaping us in the UK with this ‘Individual Government Web Page’ crap.
It just a Govt database file that’s in itself an ID card, that people will have to go to centres and be fingerprint scanned & face recognised & given a ID number to log on.
Web cam CCTV camera in our homes to get access to it.
STUFF the bloody scheme, it’s Fascism.
It’ll be the end of our freedoms.
Bloody traitor Berners-Lee.
It’s the mark of the Beast.

@djindox3, In just the last two weeks I read an article in the economist (or was it Nature…. can’t remember) about how the intelligence community can’t use the data they’re already drowning in and have major hurdles to overcome. I think the growth rate was 60%/year. Half a million names on the no-fly list.. A Joke. It left me feeling like we’re worse off with computers in that one area. If they were using pencils and paper, the Christmas bomber would have been caught before boarding a plane.
