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

The web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect - to help people work together - and not as a technical toy.

Universality has been the key enabler of innovation on the Web and will continue to be so in the future.

I hope we will use the Net to cross barriers and connect cultures.

Freedom of connection with any application to any party is the fundamental social basis of the internet. And now, is the basis of the society built on the internet.

I don't mind being, in the public context, referred to as the inventor of the World Wide Web. What I like is that image to be separate from private life, because celebrity damages private life.

If different cultures connect with each other, they are less likely to want to shoot each other.
