TITLE: Global Information: New Year's Resolutions
SPEAKER: Tim Berners-Lee
World-Wide Web development leader, CERN.
The World-Wide Web architecture for global hypermedia has enjoyed
exponential growth with time scales of the order of months since its
birth in 1990. 1993 saw easy access to a seamless information space
impinge on the awareness of the general public. Although several of
the features of the initial prototypes are still not wideley deployed
in popular browsers such as Mosaic and Lynx, commercial interest is
very strong, and already many demands from new classes of users have
become more explicit. The Web is seen increasingly as the space in
which much of tomorrow's learning, communication, commerce and
government will take place.
As 1994 begins, we check the flight path of this techlology. Why has
it been successfull? Will these reasons scale through the next few
orders of magnitude? Do we have a framework which will allow ideas
from new research to be applied seamlessly as they arrive? The
speaker will reflect a little on the year past, then present his views
on the developments which he sees as essential for the next 12 months.
Host: Dr. Karen R. Sollins
