In this video of Tim Berners-Lee who can turn in TED there is revealed the importance of the open information (open it dates) and the collaboration and participation in the network. Berners-Lee says that all the information and information that we should put in the network, of any type, will be able to be used in the future to realize wonderful things.
In the video it shows several project examples colaborativos of open information. The case of Open Street Map and the recent earthquake of Haiti. Open Street Map is a map colaborativo that allows to edit and use geographical information of the whole world. After the earthquake of Haiti the company GeoEye, it allowed to Open Street Map to use his visualization technology for satellite. It allowed to prepare in real-time a map of the refugee camps that was used by the rescue teams.
It is a clear example about what Tim Berners-Lee thinks: the technology has to be to the service of the humanity and not the other way round. Because a free and open network benefits us to all.
