The development of the web was a huge "sea change" in thehistory of the internet. The web is what brought the masses to thishuge worldwide network-for good or ill. It is unlikely that TimBerners-Lee foresaw all of that when he came up with HTTP and HTML as partof his work at CERN, but he has been in a prime spot to watch the webunfold since 1989. His latest project, Solid, is meant to allow users toclaim authority over the personal data that they provide to various internet giants.
