	Extraordinary People: Tim Berners Lee
		If you were in a time machine and could travel back to 1960s London, you might find young Tim Berners-Lee busily constructing make-believe computers out of cardboard boxes or playing mathematical games with his parents at their kitchen table.
		Tim was so fascinated by computers that, before graduating from the University of Oxford, he built his very first one from a kit using a television and an early microprocessor.
		Tim wrote a software program to help him keep track of important documents and, using a series of links (hypertext), he connected them together much like an index does in a book.

	BBC NEWS Technology Web's inventor gets a knighthood
		The inventor of the world wide web, Tim Berners-Lee, has been awarded a knighthood for his pioneering work.
		Sir Tim was recently reunited with the machine he used to invent the web when he e-mailed 80 schools from the UN's summit on the information society.
		Sir Tim said the honour was an acknowledgement that the net was becoming globally powerful, and not just a "passing trend".

	Read/WriteWeb: January 15, 2004 Archives
		The main part of the TBL interview focused on Berners-Lee's theory of a Fractal Society and how the Web can be used to achieve this.
		In it Berners-Lee discussed the state of the Web and outlined his vision of a "fractal society".
		I got the impression that TBL sees blogging as one aspect of this phenomenon, but he cautions that blogging is still practised by comparatively few Web users.

		TBL: I think there will come a time when the prevalence of graph manipulation tools will be more alluring than the equivalent at the XML level.
		TBL: There's always a danger when explaining why something as broad as this is important -- it's easy to pick an example which understates the case and then undermines the value.

	Christopher Lydon Interviews... :
		Perhaps the main message from Tim Berners-Lee at this moment of the Web's further emergence is simply this: that it serves the conversation at each and every level of a fractal society and a fractal universe.
		The Web is not, first, what Tim Berners-Lee thought he was designing in the early '90s: a collaborative medium for researchers working together at a distance.
		But you'd never get that impression from Sir Tim himself, the man who invented the World Wide Web barely a decade ago with nary a thought of power or glory, fame or fortune.

	So I have a blog Decentralized Information Group (DIG) Breadcrumbs
		Tim, you can probably see from the response here that a 'proper' blog is a format people can relate to - looking at Design Issues, although the content is gold dust, it has no context or reference points surrounding it, and so clicking the link is a "shot in the dark".
		Tim you have made life better, what more can you contribute.
		Loving your work, Tim, many thanks for having the vision to create such a wonderful tool.

	BBC NEWS Technology Berners-Lee on the read/write web
		Tim Berners-Lee: That's an interesting question that you ask, as though it's a yes or no answer.
		TBL: People often quite successfully compare the web with a growing person, and it's certainly had its years of adolescence when it's been trying to push the boundaries, see how far we can go, and I think some of these things, with spam and phishing that we see at the moment are examples of that.
		TBL: Some people tell me. I suppose the question is to what extent the people use it for things which should seriously concern us.
