Watch:
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the web, discussed the exciting new field of web science which he is pioneering at MIT, in partnership with colleagues at Southampton University, which seeks to understand the impact the web is having on our society and economy.
He was speaking at an event organised by the UK’s National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) where he was joined by Andy Duncan the Chief Executive of Channel 4 and Charlie Leadbeater the author of ‘We-think: The Power of Mass Creativity’ for a lively discussion around how governments, business and academia can safeguard the future of the web as an open platform for information exchange and collaboration.
