Knight of the Web

I would like to express a direct, explicit, and huge thank you to Sir Tim Berners-Lee for magnanimously battling our Internet dragons and winning ("Sir Tim Berners-Lee", TR October 2004). His Semantic Web will be the Web to the power of two and will be better than the current version. We are reaching for the Web in four dimensions, connecting past and present to your future calendar, and forming friend-of-a-friend or idea-of-an-idea relationships. That is when the fears about privacy and security will strike. I hope that Sir Tim Berners-Lee or some other brave knight will draw the sword and battle our dragons anew.
