Urgh. Two hours of Video and no summary. I wish I had two hours to watch it.

Here's an open letter about Tim's view on the dysfunction that affects the web today.

The BBC did an interview with him too

> after a good first 15 years, things had turned bad and a "mid-course correction" was needed.

He's optimistic such a correction will occur. I hope I'm that uncynical when I'm his age.

The first 30 minutes is an Introduction panel with the first 5 names in the Featured Speakers section.

Then there's a 30 minutes interview with Sir Tim Berners-Lee, where among other things he touches on Solid (https://solid.mit.edu/).

The last hour is a shared panel with the rest of the featured speakers on the impact of the Web on Human Rights, surveillance, privacy, etc.
