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.

Any enterprise CEO really ought to be able to ask a question that involves connecting data across the organization, be able to run a company effectively, and especially to be able to respond to unexpected events. Most organizations are missing this ability to connect all the data together.

What's very important from my point of view is that there is one web … Anyone that tries to chop it into two will find that their piece looks very boring.

It’s the whole cat and mouse game between the readers and writers that makes the web work.

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. The ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world. We clump into families, associations, and companies. We develop trust across the miles and distrust around the corner.

[The internet] ought to be like clay, rather than a sculpture that you observe from a distance.

When something is such a creative medium as the web, the limits to it are our imagination.
