ACTIVITY B

Read the following text.

Tim Berners-Lee – the Knight of the Web

The original idea for the Web was born in the early 1960s, when Tim Berners-Lee was growing up
in London. His parents, both pioneers of the computer age, helped create the first commercial
stored-program electronic computer. They raised their son on tales of bits and processors and the
power of machines. One of his earliest memories is a conversation with his father about how
computers would one day function like the human brain. As a student at Oxford in the early 1970s,
Berners-Lee built his own computer using an old television and a soldering iron. He graduated with
a first-class degree in physics, without any particular plans for his future. He subsequently landed
a series of jobs at different companies as a programmer, but none of them lasted long. In the early
1980s, he got a consulting position at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). He
worked on a program to help nuclear scientists share data over another nascent system. In 1989,
he came up with the idea that eventually became the Web – an open and democratic platform for
all. Berners-Lee’s would be named one of the 20th century’s most important figures by  Time,
receive the Turing Award for achievements in the computer sciences, and be honored at the
Olympics. He has been knighted by the Queen.

While Silicon Valley started ride-share apps and social-media networks without profoundly
considering the consequences, Berners-Lee has spent the past three decades thinking about little
else. From the beginning, Berners-Lee understood how the epic power of the Web would radically
transform governments, businesses, societies. He also envisioned that his invention could, in the
wrong hands, become a destroyer of worlds, so he has spent most of his life trying to guard it.

He has been working on a new platform, Solid, to reclaim the Web from corporations and return it
to its democratic roots. For now, the Solid technology is still new and not ready for the masses. But
the vision, if it works, could radically change the existing power dynamics of the Web. The system
aims to give users a platform by which they can control access to the data and content they
generate on the Web. This way, users can choose how that data gets used rather than, say,
Facebook and Google doing with it as they please. Solid’s code and technology is open to all—
anyone with access to the Internet can come into its chat room and start coding.

And now, as half the world joins the Web, we are at a societal inflection point: Are we headed
toward a future where a handful of corporations monitor and control our lives? Or are we on the
verge of creating a better version of society online, one where the free flow of ideas and
information helps cure disease, expose corruption, reverse injustices?
