... have that sort of impact on the public imagination? Carl Sagan? Stephen Hawking? Richard Dawkins? Tim Berners-Lee? 2 [Via Give Me Something To Read ] __________ I suppose it’s just about possible that somewhere along the way Einstein’s work might have been used as material in a filibuster, so perhaps it ended up in the Congressional Record by a different route. Or perhaps not: if I were...
... the engine is the content, the car the aggregation, and the engineer the journalist and adds that Tim Berners Lee's invention of the hyperlink created the perfect frictionless interface between two formerly integrated industries: publishing and aggregation. It does not matter that this did not come about in the gradual way that Christensen describes (i.e. through a slow process of industry...
Way back in 2001, the founder of the Web, Tim Berners-Lee published his vision of the future Web. (In this book he states that the Web is designed for being read by humans and not for being understood by machines.
What do you do after Inventing the Web? That's not a question most of us have to face, but it is for Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Heading up the World Wide Web Consortium to oversee the Web's development was a natural move, but valuable as its work has been, there's no denying that it has been sidelined somewhat by the rather more vigorous commercial Web activity that's taken place over the last decade....

... , including a handful of examples of each type of design. The first web pages In August 1991, Tim Berners-Lee published the first website, a simple, text-based page with a few links. A copy from 1992 of the original page still exists online. It had a dozen or so links, and simply served to tell people what the World Wide Web was all about. Subsequent pages were similar, in that they were...
... services for citizens, as well as better government transparency, according to experts. Stephen Timms, who has ministerial responsibility for the wider initiative to put state information online, said at a Downing Street seminar last week: “There are big gains to be made here in accountability and improving the quality of public services.” Publishing Ordnance Survey data was always...
The semantic web folks, including Sir Tim Berners-Lee, have been saying for years that the Internet could become significantly more compelling by cooking more intelligence into the way things link around the network. The movement is getting some legs to it these days, but the solution doesn’t look quite like what the visionaries expected [...]
I really liked Matt McAlister's take on the nuances in development of the semantic web, open data and Sir Tim Berner-Lee's new mission: "The semantic web folks, including Sir Tim Berners-Lee, have been saying for years that the Internet could become significantly more compelling by cooking more intelligence into the way things link around the network.

... that is accessible via the Internet. Marc and some friends did go on to found Netscape. Sir Tim Berners-Lee Did not invent the Internet. What good Sir Tim did do was to come up with the concept of using hypertext to link documents on various computers or servers, in such a way that they could be browsed from one location. Thus the World Wide Web was born. Well, it took a few years to develop...
Citizens to Surf Net Using Voices Walter WafulaLess educated and visually impaired Ugandans will in future access information on the internet by talking through their mobile phones, a visiting British computer scientist has said."We will create voice applications where one does not have to read or write at all to access the internet but by speaking," said Mr Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of...
On Friday, thousands of scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research ( CERN ) -- where Tim Berners-Lee and a group of his students invented the World Wide Web -- embarked on their second attempt in 14 months to invent, or re-invent, something almost as significant: the universe. Yes, at the heart of history's largest and most expensive experiment -- at over $7 billion -- is the...
