I would want to know how he invented the web. It's weird, really, because the internet is made of many different servers from many different places. How can the internet possibly be invented? You would have to create one big server or several servers. Where exactly is the internet located?

Had he ever read any of the works of Theodor "Ted" Nelson (only the frikkin guy who envisioned the WWW -- but better, and who created the text "hypertext.") And if so, shouldn't he *mention* that damned genius a few times?!

1)What would life be without you inventing the html/ world wide web??
2)Do you like what the internet has become?
3)What are some ways you want to do but cannot to improve your ideas for the web?
4)Who is your celeberity crush?
5)Any questions? or commments?

38mm or 40mm ball? Where does he stand... :)

Does he actually use OM after his name now? Yet another good reason for 1776.

Do we keep tweaking/adding/repurposing the current internet or do we start from scratch and build a new shiny bells and whistles internet? Is the 'wild-west free-for-all nature' of the internet here to stay or will it become ever more regulated/sanitized/controlled?

Why are you almost entirely irrelevant to the modern web?

How do you see the emergence of a web operating system, and with it the ownership of the web infrastructure by just a few technology conglomerates?

Is the web essentially dead? And if so, what's next? If not, why does it seem nearly dead?

I'm curious about his take on web privacy issues - potential for misuse/totalitarian state, etc.

Technologies like javascript and dhtml have been around for a long time but there full potential was not realized until the "web 2.0" time.

What is the next big technology that is under-estimated and miss-understood?

How similar do you think you are to Alfred Nobel, he created dynamite and you created WWW, both of which became more of a vice than real use?

in the spirit of Brendan's question, why "double-u-double-u-double-u"?

berners-lee is responsible for at once the most impactful technology invention of our lifetimes ~and the most awkward and wasteful product name in the history of man.

What does he think about OpenAjax - where over 100 top companies are working together to promote an open standard or Open Ajax including Google, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Mozilla, Adobe, Dojo, and W3C.

Also could he compare XML to JSON for client side nad possible use on the server.

More importantly, where does he stand on the proposal for new JavaScript 2 / Ecmascript 4 ? There is a lot of heat about this, I would love to hear his input on the matter.
