Berners-Lee: Web could change science and government

Web 2.0

12 June 2008

Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the world wide web, has claimed online social systems could change science and government.

In a keynote speech he explained social systems pioneered online could help inform users how to better understand what they believe and do, the Associated Press has reported.

"The good news is we could find new forms of democracy, new ways of thinking about science that will be much more efficient," Mr Berners-Lee said.

His speech imagined a more powerful internet, with more content and increased bandwidth working on portable devices.

Analysts, IDC, has said the information technology market is in a 'post-disruption' phase.

After a period of widespread investment in Web 2.0 applications and open development communities, these disruptive technologies have been accepted and "will become the new status quo for competing in the IT marketplace for the next decade".
