A discussion about the origins of the World Wide Web with its inventor, Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
25 years ago, he was inspired to create the World Wide Web while working as a software engineer at CERN, the large particle physics lab near Geneva.
By connecting millions of people through the Internet, he revolutionised how we work, play, share knowledge and communicate.
He is dedicated to enhancing and protecting the Web’s future, as the Founding Director of the World Wide Web Foundation and Director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
At this event, Sir Tim Berners-Lee joins us to talk about the beginnings of the Web, and his work to ensure that it serves humanity by establishing it as a global public good and a basic right.
At the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony, Sir Tim Berners-Lee tweeted, ‘This is for everyone’.
