Tim Berners-Lee (1955-now) is a British computer scientist best known for launching the World Wide Web at CERN in 1989. The rest of this post is some quotes from Berners-Lee.
"We should work toward a universal linked information system, in which generality and portability are more important than fancy graphics techniques and complex extra facilities. The aim would be to allow a place to be found for any information or reference which one felt was important, and a way of finding it afterwards." (Information Management: A Proposal, 1989)
"Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design." (AZQuotes.com)
"The dream behind the Web is a common information space in which we communicate by sharing information." (AZQuotes.com)
"I think, in general, it's clear that most bad things come from misunderstanding, and communication is generally the way to resolve misunderstandings - and the Web's a form of communications - so it generally should be good." (Interview with Scott Lanningham, 2006)
