Weaving the Web by Tim Berners-Lee

An account of the invention of the WWW by its inventor. It is interesting that he can claim this invention. I have no doubts this is true. It seems his vision for the web has been very helpful and the freedom engendered has been a boon to its growth. Because of his free vision he perhaps minimizes his impact and the story is a bit less interesting than if he made himself more of a hero.

He plays his final hand drawing an analogy with the web and his newfound "faith" in Unitarian Universalism. The song ending on a sour note!
