“Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design.”

The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past.
The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.
We could say we want the Web to reflect a vision of the world where everything is done democratically. To do that, we get computers to talk with each other in such a way as to promote that ideal.
We shouldn't build a technology to colour, or grey out, what people say. The media in general is balanced, although there are a lot of issues to be addressed that the media rightly pick up on.
