The Web's 20th Anniversary

As I was reading my Google Reader feeds this morning, I found out that the Web is turning 20(!). It's older than many of its users me thinks ^_^

According to the post on Writing for the Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, was interviewed on his thoughts. Here's some selected quotes from his interview (originally from The Star):

• "The rate of development and innovation on the Web is actually getting faster and faster all the time"
• "The Web is not all done. It's just the tip of the iceberg."
• "The exact date, I'll have to admit, is sort of a created one because I can't remember which day it was I actually wrote the darn thing," -- a lesson to all programmers who will become bigger than Bill Gates and Sir Berners-Lee: document your stuff starting now!
  
• He said it took a while to get an adequate computer and make the idea work, but that by December 1990 the Web was up and running – even if only between two computers at CERN.
  
• "It took off because, across the planet, random people got involved,"
• You think it's a great change to society that you can look things up on the Web," said Berners-Lee. But changes that are yet to come "are going to rock the boat even more."
