Tim Berners-Lees – making a difference

Here are some ways to make a difference to the world, using Tim Berners-Lees as an example: A World Wide Web of Ideas.

My take on the key concepts are:

Altruism – giving something away returns far more, and enables more people, in the long run.

Influence – a personal story attracts more attention than the best message-managed PR gloss.

Freedom – the freedom to explore ideas is a powerful force of change.

Connection – social networks are not necessarily what they promise to be, yet. We are only seeing the beginnings of the power of these connectors.

Care – we have the tools and the freedom to share ideas. It is now time to give a damn about honouring our ideas and our truths. And speaking them.

Fun – having fun is a an indicator of living our truths. Don’t put it off.
