Sir Tim Berners-Lee hopes peace will be the lasting legacy of the World Wide Web [TheDrum]

In a wide-ranging interview, the British-born computer scientist
opened up about his aspirations for the web and his thoughts on its
progress so far ahead of his induction into the UK Digital Hall of
Fame at ad:tech in London next week. Speaking from his office at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sir Tim said: "Hopefully [the
web] will make the human race work more efficiently in many, many
ways: we've already seen acceleration of commerce, and the
acceleration of learning. The big question is can we use it to
accelerate peace? One of the worrying things when people go online is
that they tend to interact with their own kind: race, colour, creed,
sexual preference and so on."
