At one point, CERN was toying with patenting the World Wide Web.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
CERN is a concrete example of worldwide, international co-operation - and a concrete example of peace. The place which makes, in my opinion, better scientists, but also better people.
CERN is a centre of scientific excellence and a source of pride and inspiration for physicists from all over the world, a cradle for technology and innovation, and a shining concrete example of scientific cooperation and peace.
The story of the Web starts in 1980, when Berners-Lee, a young consulting physicist at the CERN physics laboratory near Geneva, grew frustrated with existing methods for finding and transferring information.
The promise of the early web was that everyone could have a website but there was something missing. Maybe the technology wasn't ready.
When I took office, only high energy physicists had ever heard of what is called the Worldwide Web... Now even my cat has its own page.
In fact what I would like to see is thousands of computer scientists let loose to do whatever they want. That's what really advances the field.
People are getting patents on things that are too general.
The technological breakthrough of the World Wide Web has been enormously beneficial to society.
In the early days of the software industry, people cared about copyright and didn't give a damn about patents - they copied each other willy-nilly.
TechCrunch evolved on the Web as a new way of presenting the news on the Web.
