I encourage anyone working on web and other internet related Technologies to take the time to watch that video of Vint Cerf, Al Gore, and Sir Tim as it really does portray an interesting dynamic of how the internet and policy and funding all rolled into how the web emerged.

Of Greater importance I think is an observation I didn't have when I watched it some months ago was that all three really have a love of the intersection of technology and Society which for the web was baked in. Sir Tim has always been a champion for discourse, decency, unity.

The other piece that really is telling is watching and listening to Al Gore because it's many years now since the quote about inventing the internet and that he is knowledgeable in many areas including literature. Lord of the Flies, shakespeare, it was quite an interesting talk.

And I love the fact that nobody there was in it for the money ever. These were labors of passion and hope and love for Humanity the desire to see good and do good but how dark things became and abuse, misinformation but in the context of how do we address these things now.

Tim talked a bit about solid which if you haven't read about it it's worth it I like aspects of it's especially the decentralization and pod concept which resembles the cloud but far more secure. It was a lot of talk about security and privacy, and anonymity vs. open.
