Computers might not find the solutions to our problems, but they would be able to do the bulk of the legwork required, assist our human minds in intuitively finding ways through the maze.

What we believe, endorse, agree with, and depend on is representable and, increasingly, represented on the Web. We all have to ensure that the society we build with the Web is the sort we intend.

There are converging web-related issues cropping up, like privacy and security, that we currently have no way of thinking about. Nobody has thought to look at how people and the web combine as a whole - until now.

The concept of the Web is of universal readership.

In many ways, people growing up with the Web and now the Semantic Web take the power at their fingertips for granted.

The dream behind the Web is of a common information space in which we communicate by sharing information.

I'm an optimist about humanity in general, I suppose.
