Hello, Im Brian Eno the musician and I would like
to talk about the World Wide Web, my vote for the
most important invention of the last 100 years.
-No technology has been so pervasive so quickly
as the internet.
-Twenty-five years ago the internet was a mystery to most
people and now several billion of us use it every day,
several times a day.
- What made the internet really viable, the blood in it veins
if you like, was the brilliant invention of Sir Tim Berners-
Lee,
the World Wide Web. What made that so universal was the
decision to make it free.
- So, to brilliance, add generosity!
