If there is no fundamental science then there is no basis for applied science. We have to strike a balance. 23 years ago the World Wide Web was born here. It has changed the world dramatically.

Rolf-Dieter Heuer

Science owes more to the steam engine than the steam engine owes to science.

Lawrence Joseph Henderson

Postwar U.S. was the world's leader in science and technology. The investment in science research was staggering.

Siddhartha Mukherjee

Life is the steam of the corporeal engine; the soul is the engineer who makes use of the steam-quickened engine.

Sara Coleridge

It is arguable whether the human race have been gainers by the march of science beyond the steam engine. Electricity opens a field of infinite conveniences to ever greater numbers, but they may well have to pay dearly for them. But anyhow in my thought I stop short of the internal combustion engine which has made the world so much smaller. Still more must we fear the consequences of entrusting a human race so little different from their predecessors of the so-called barbarous ages such awful agencies as the atomic bomb. Give me the horse.

Winston Churchill

It's not the world wide web. It's the women wide web.

Tiffany Shlain

If someone had protected the HTML language for making Web pages, then we wouldn't have the World Wide Web.

Feng Zhang

The technological breakthrough of the World Wide Web has been enormously beneficial to society.

Jon Postel

When people talk about Web 2.0, they mean that when the Internet, the World Wide Web, first became popular, it was one way only.

Edward Snowden

The Internet, like the steam engine, is a technological breakthrough that changed the world.

Peter Singer

If we choose to ignore science and refuse to fund important scientific research, we voluntarily cede our place as a world leader in innovation.

Bill Foster

This is exactly how the World Wide Web works: the HTML files are the pithy description on the paper tape, and your Web browser is Ronald Reagan.

Neal Stephenson

The World Wide Web went from zero to millions of web pages in a few years. Many revolutions look irrelevant just before they change everything swiftly.

George M. Church

Even the development of the steam engine owed but little to the advancement of science.

James Bryant Conant

When I was 14, I spent a huge amount of time on the Internet, but not the Internet we know today. It was 1994, so while the World Wide Web existed, it wasn't generally accessible. Prodigy and CompuServe were popular, and AOL was on the rise, but I didn't have access to the web, and no one I knew had access to the web.
