Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the British computer scientist who was knighted for inventing the internet navigation system known as the World Wide Web, wants to re-make cyberspace once again.
The Thing is he has been busy with it for a good two years, and we’re not really seeing anything. It sounds a bit like a virtual identity and some form of virtual pod for publishing and interacting from? So not a federated network where you log into your account at a server instance and can move it to another instance. It sounds more abstracted than that. I understand he is working on the open protocol side to ensure it works globally and is not limited to some big central tech company, and that various devs can produce the client software and apps. All good, but where is the prototype after all this time?
