| Tim Berners-Lee |
Tim Berners-Lee, widely credited with helping launch the Internet as we more or less know it today, has some uneasy feelings about the current state of Web affairs.
According to a Guardian interview picked up by the "Good Morning Silicon Valley" blog, Berners-Lee regards smart phones as closed systems that create "a serious brake on innovation." He prefers to use machines that encourage open platform capabilities. You remember those devices: they're called computers.
Unlike those who use "innovation" and "monetization" as synonyms, Berners-Lee actually
likes the creative use of the Internet. Then again, he's essentially a scientist who believes in the glory and expansive use of the rational imagination. It's not just about the money.
