It was really hard explaining the Web before people just got used to it because they didn't even have words like click and jump and page.

It's amazing how quickly people on the internet can pick something up, but it's also amazing how quickly they can drop it.

It's difficult to imagine the power that you're going to have when so many different sorts of data are available.

It's interesting that people throughout the existence of the web have been concerned about monopolies.

Most larger companies now see that for the market to grow, Web infrastructure must be royalty-free.

One of the issues of social networking silos is that they have the data and I don't.

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

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

The amount of control you have over somebody if you can monitor internet activity is amazing.

The Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web. The important thing is that it's managed responsibly.

The important thing is the diversity available on the Web.

The original idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space where you can communicate through sharing information.

The people who designed the tools that make the Net run had their own ideas for the future.

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

There was a time when people felt the internet was another world, but now people realise it's a tool that we use in this world.

Things can change so fast on the internet.

We can't blame the technology when we make mistakes.

Web pages are designed for people. For the Semantic Web, we need to look at existing databases.

What I do has to be a function of what I can do, not a function of what people ask me to do.
