Tim Berners-Lee says Web is about to take a leap forward

Tim Berners-Lee, the British scientist who invented the World Wide Web is more positive than he has been "in years" about its progress.

"You can see so many ways the Web is taking off in so many
different directions," he told Reuters in an interview ahead of next week’s World Wide Web conference.

"My personal view is that a lot of it is coming together
now. That is very gratifying to see. We’re moving into another
mode with established technology. I’m very optimistic at this
moment…

"The whole industrial environment is more exciting. We had
the bubble and the burst, but now you see a low of young
companies again. There’s renewed enthusiasm among VCs (venture
capitalists) to invest in start-ups. I get a feeling of upsurge
in activity."
