Web Creator Tim Berners-Lee: Internet Access Is A Human Right: "We're living in a world where Internet access should be as readily available as water, according to the man who helped create the web, Tim Berners-Lee.
Berners-Lee, who made his comments at an MIT symposium on 'Computation and the Transformation of Practically Everything,' noted that people have become so reliant on the web that it should be a right to have access to it, as reported by Network World.
'Access to the Web is now a human right,' he said. 'It's possible to live without the Web. It's not possible to live without water. But if you've got water, then the difference between somebody who is connected to the Web and is part of the information society, and someone who (is not) is growing bigger and bigger.'"
