Tim Berners-Lee on the Future of the Internet

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Tim Berners-Lee, father of the world wide web, discusses the future of the internet, as Justin Rowlatt reports from the Science Museum's newly-opened Information Age gallery. Justin gets a sneak pre-opening tour from curator Tilly Blythe. Among the exhibits - including the server on which Tim first coded the web - he speaks to internet pioneer Martha Lane Fox, and to the founder of Acorn Computers and chip-maker ARM, Hermann Hauser. Also in the programme, Naveena Kottoor reports from Tunisia on the country's first elections since the Arab Spring, and the contrasting post-revolution experiences of the capital and of the country's interior.
