People keep asking me what I think of it now that it's done. Hence my protest: The Web is not done!

If you use the original World Wide Web program, you never see a URL or have to deal with HTML. That was a surprise to me - that people were prepared to painstakingly write HTML.

If I had taken a proprietary control of the Web, then it would never have taken off. People only committed their time to it because they knew it was open, shared: that they could help decide what would happen to it next.. and I wouldn't be raking off 10%!

When you go onto the internet, if you really rummage around randomly then how do you hope to find something of any of value?

Innovation is serendipity, so you don't know what people will make.

Compared even to the development of the phone or TV, the Web developed very quickly.

The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past.
