The
Internet's founder, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, has spoken about it 25 years after he
created it. He said it is a force for good, but it has a negative side. He told
the BBC: "Everywhere I look I see a mass of energy…and also in some
places, they are using the web for organised protests." He was sad at the
amount of trolling and negativity. He was shocked that normal people,
"suddenly become very hateful instead of very loving".
Berners-Lee was at London's Science Museum for a new 'Information Age'
exhibition. It has the server that hosted the first ever website, which still
has a note on it that Berners-Lee wrote about not switching it off. Berners-Lee
is a director of the World Wide Web Consortium, which looks after the Web's
development. He hopes people will build more web-based tools that will help us
collaborate for positive change, rather than fight. (Breaking News English)
