The day I turned down Tim Berners-Lee: Ian Ritchie on TED.com
Imagine it’s late 1990, and you’ve just met a nice young man named Tim Berners-Lee, who starts telling you about his proposed system called the World Wide Web. Ian Ritchie was there. And … he didn’t buy it. A short story about information, connectivity and learning from mistakes. (Recorded at TEDGlobal 2011, July 2011, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Duration: 5:42.)
Watch Ian Ritchie’s talk on TED.com, where you can download it, rate it, comment on it and find other talks and performances from our archive of 1,000+ TEDTalks.
