The basic ideas of the Web is an information space through which people can communicate, but communicate in a special way: communicate by sharing their knowledge in a pool. The idea was not just that it should be a big browsing medium. The idea was that everybody would be putting their ideas in, as well as taking them out. This is not supposed to be a glorified television channel Also everybody should be excited about the power to actually create hypertext. Writing hypertext is good fun, and being with a group of people writing hypertext and trying to work something out, by making links is a different way of working.... I'd hoped it would be a way for us to much more efficiently use people who came and went, use student work, use people working remotely. And leave a trail, not a paper trail, but a trail in hyperspace. http://www.w3.org/1999/04/13-tbl.html
