Twenty years ago a young man called Tim Berners-Lee had an idea. He called it the World Wide Web. Today it's hard for us to imagine a world without the web; without Wikipedia; without social media; without music downloads; without video on demand... The change wrought by the web has been exponential, explosive and so profound that it renders imagining the world in another 20 years time almost impossible.

Did the father of the web ever imagine it would become the world-changing technology it is today? Is he surprised, delighted or even disappointed by his creation? What are his hopes for the future of the web?

Thank you for beginning this Blog
I think it is very important to evolve the Web in a constructive way moulded around events in whatever shape or form they take.I worked for
Texas Instruments in Australia from 1978~1984 and while the computer world was in its infancy the excitement of this new world being created was one Ill never forget.Of course I would have loved to work for Internet Company but the promises of New Century will allow us to create limitless expressions of mind on blogs podcasts and allow us to communicate more freely "online" than ever before.
W3 Org should also evolve rather than being simple esoteric site with more information to allow all of to be create on web in many ways..
