With apologies to Al Gore, the Web’s bona fide inventor, Sir Tim Berners-Lee believes that the Internet has barely found its proverbial feet. As he explained to BBC News:

“The experience of the development of the web by so many people collaborating across the globe has just been a fantastic experience,” he said.

“The experience of international collaboration continues. Also the spirit that really we have only started to explore the possibilities of [the web], that continues.”

Sir Tim predicted that the web’s ability to engender collaboration could one day see the web being used to help manage the planet.

From collaborative opportunity to planetary management — that kind of power begs participation.
