Marking the Web’s 35th Birthday: An Open Letter – World Wide Web Foundation

Original Hope
Three and a half decades ago, when I invented the web, its trajectory was impossible to imagine. There was no roadmap to predict the course of its evolution, it was a captivating odyssey filled with unforeseen opportunities and challenges. Underlying its whole infrastructure was the intention to allow for collaboration, foster compassion and generate creativity – what I term the 3 C’s. It was to be a tool to empower humanity.

A letter from the Web’s creator–now Sir Tim Beers-Lee. An act of singular generosity, from Tim and the others less celebrated but still very important in its early history like Robert Cailliau and CERN, which owned the original work related to the Web and made it freely and publicly available.
We owe it to Tm to at least read his letter.
