"Hey, would you like to help create the World Wide Web?" "No, thanks"

An interesting story from Ian Ritchie, former head of Office Workstations Limited (OWL), an early maker of hypertext software for personal computers, speaking at TEDGlobal 2011. Ritchie describes how he (and several others) were in a position to help Tim Berners-Lee realize his dream of the World Wide Web, but failed to see it Berners-Lee's way and declined to participate. And the rest is history.
