XeonesRiposte writes “According to the BBC, the man who “invented the Web” — Sir Tim Berners-Lee — says that he’s worried about the way Internet technologies might be used to spread “misinformation and undemocratic forces” in the future. He’s looking to launch a new trans-disciplinary research initiative looking at the both the social and technological aspects of the web. Sounds like a job for librarians.
For something beyond this brief article, check out Berners-Lee’s appearance last year at the Oxford Internet Institute to learn more about his views.”
