Tim Berners Lee“So how do we plan for a better future, better for society?We ensure that that both technological protocols and social conventions respect basic values. That Web remains a universal platform: independent of any specific hardware device, software platform, language, culture, or disability. That the Web does not become controlled by a single company - or a single country”

"The Web of the future ...will be accessible from a growing diversity of networks (wireless, wireline, satellite) and will be available on a ever increasing number of different types of devices. ...Web applications will become a more and more ubiquitous throughout our human environment, with walls, automobile dashboards, refrigerator doors all serving as displays giving us a window onto the Web.“

Approaches to change• Retro-movement

Let’s return...to the order of the past • Defenders of the status quo

Just keep going, carry on regardless, grounded in the mainstream of scientific materialism

• Advocates of individual and collective changeBreak the no longer appropriate patterns of the past and tune into our highest future possibilities – and being to operate from that place...?
