 The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past. |
| What is a Web year now, about three months? And when people can browse around, discover new things, and download them fast, when we all have agents - then Web years could slip by before human beings can notice. |
| We could say we want the Web to reflect a vision of the world where everything is done democratically. To do that, we get computers to talk with each other in such a way as to promote that ideal. |
| Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves. |
| The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large. |
| The Domain Name Server (DNS) is the Achilles heel of the Web. The important thing is that it's managed responsibly. |
| The most important thing that was new was the idea of URI-or URL, that any piece of information anywhere should have an identifier, which will allow you to get hold of it. |
| Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design. |
| IT professionals have a responsibility to understand the use of standards and the importance of making Web applications that work with any kind of device. |
| Sites need to be able to interact in one single, universal space. |
| I basically wrote the code and the specs and documentation for how the client and server talked to each other. |
| In '93 to '94, every browser had its own flavor of HTML. So it was very difficult to know what you could put in a Web page and reliably have most of your readership see it. |
| Customers need to be given control of their own data-not being tied into a certain manufacturer so that when there are problems they are always obliged to go back to them. |
