The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.

The world's urban poor and the illiterate are going to be increasingly disadvantaged and are in danger of being left behind. The web has added a new dimension to the gap between the first world and the developing world. We have to start talking about a human right to connect.

It's a new medium, it's a universal medium and it's not itself a medium which inherently makes people do good things, or bad things. It allows people to do what they want to do more efficiently.

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

You can’t propose that something be a universal space and at the same time keep control of it.

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.

Physicists analyse systems. Web scientists, however, can create the systems.
