Tim Berners-Lee: The next Web of open, linked data
22 Nov, 2009 | Posted by | under Others
www.ted.com 20 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. For his next project, he’s building a web for open, linked data that could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together.TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), is a checking protocol for transmission of data across the Internet (Inter connecting networks), it comes from the ARPANET in the early 70s.
Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, for the US government to talk to the military, due to the cold war against the former soviet union, they feared a nuclear fall out, so it became more distributed (the form the net works on now).

Just remember history when you go to put “all your data” on the web.

Yeah, the net existed before Tim, but it was obscure. He put the widget on the map and invented the technology that revolutionized our world in ways that still haven’t played out fully. We may end up with a global meta-government honestly capable of ruling our world equitably mostly because of what Tim invented. As far as I am concerned, his insight was as good as Darwins or Einsteins. It was likely that someone would stumble onto it, but that doesn’t detract from the overwhelming significance.

Actually, to be more accurate, he didn’t, he only invented the World Wide Web and has helped develop Web 2.0 while he is also helping to develop Web 3.0… The internet was already in place in the form of the ARPAnet

TCP != Internet.
The concept of the internet could be said to have been thought of by one person first (probably Berners-Lee) but that’s not to say that somebody else would have thought of it anyway.
Anyway, to say that Kahn and Cerf invented the internet is like saying John Logie Baird invented satellite TV.

I meant to give you thumbs up, did thumbs down by accident, excellent video, excellent comment.

Information surface expands and what isn’t known directly can be aproximated by inference. There will be no secrets.
Google might not tell you how many iron mines are in china but Google earth and google business search and information about iron produced in countries that aren’t China will.
The question of economic success becomes a measure of time between acquisition and utilization information.

I noticed it, but I figured he was playing on Algores famous line, and so was pausing for laughter.

Another invention by the British. Like computers, radio, television, steam power, jet engine, pennicillen and even America itself.

He paused for just under a second

***VIDEO CHALLENGE***
Take a shot every time he says data.

“…I invented the world wide web”
*Pause for applause that never comes and turns into a horribly awkward silence*
Am I the only one who noticed that?
Not to sell the man short on his accomplishments but I found that hilarious.

linked data has already happened naturally on the internet, though the questions aspect needs to be explored
GuppieLove | November 22nd, 2009 at 9:38 am #
sounds like there is a lot of good to unlock linked data.
for the information era
but at the same time leaves us exposed as individuals .

this is basically a cookie counter that can rapidly track key concepts and words. say i am a stalker and i know your name and adress. using this technology i can find out where you work, what school you go too and what color of shoes you bought for prom on ebay. the slope is there waiting for someone to exploit it. furthermore this can be accessed by employers to find your myspace, facebook and other files intended for your friends. it is sad that everything has to be made deliberately private.
