As the Web Turns 25, Where Is It Going Next?
25:10 minutes
The World Wide Web turns 25 this week. In this Radio Rewind, we revisit a 1999 conversation with Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the web’s inventor. And we talk with Lee Rainie, director of the Internet Project at the Pew Research Center, about the web of the future, which he says many experts liken to electricity—invisible and omnipresent, operating in the background of our daily lives.
