Keeping the Web universal
If two words could characterize the World Wide Web, they would be "openness" and "standards." Fifteen years after Tim Berners-Lee first proposed the Web and worked to propagate it from a research lab in Geneva, he still has a passion for those founding ideals. Today, he is worried that the mobile phone may be eroding those standards, reports the IHT. "In Finland this week to receive the Millennium Technology Award, Berners-Lee said the reluctance of developers to make Web pages for mobile phones adhere to the same principles as those for computers was chipping away at what he had worked for." Berners-Lee doesn't want to divide the Web into sites for some devices and not for others. He argues that most top-level domain names, like .com, .mobi and the others, create different "webs" for different people, counter to the ideas of decentralization and openness at the heart of his creation." |
