[Mitworld] New: Tim Berners-Lee, Nobel Laureate Wilczek

[MIT.WORLD]

Hello Friends of MIT World,

  Go to http://mitworld.mit.edu for the latest additions to MIT World.

Technology Review

The Emerging Technologies Conference at MIT presents

Tim-Berners Lee
Senior Research Scientist
Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL)
Director, World Wide Web Consortium (WC3)

Tim Berners-Lee provides a new vision for the web-- the "semantic 
web" a way of indexing and linking together different kinds of web 
content.  This fast paced Keynote speech includes a Q&A session with 
Bob Metcalfe, Founder of 3Com Corporation.  At 48:03, the creator of 
the ethernet asks the inventor of the internet, "what web browser do 
you use"?

MIT World will provide more videos from this conference in December.
