Berners-Lee: We no longer fully understand the web
Berners Lee observers, 'The web is now a massive system of connected people and technology and we have to study it as one. It connects people as they make and follow hyperlinks to a degree that results in complex properties no one expected. It has something like 1011 web pages in it and there are a similar number of neurons in the brain. The brain is something very complicated we don't understand - yet we rely on it.' More from the New Scientist here.
