The founder the Internet, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, has spoken his creation 25 years he helped to conceive it. He said it has been a force good, but it also has a negative side. Mr Berners-Lee was speaking the BBC London's Science Museum. He said: "Everywhere I look I see a mass energy, a huge amount of energy, and also some places, they are using the web organised protests against oppressive regimes." He also lamented the growing use of the Internet trolling and negativity. He said: "It's staggering to me that people who must have been brought like anybody else will suddenly become very polarised their opinions and will suddenly become very hateful instead of very loving."

Berners-Lee was the Science Museum to view an important part of Internet history. The museum will house the server that hosted the first ever website. It is part a new exhibition called the Information Age. The machine still has a reminder it written Berners-Lee that warns: "This machine is a server. Do not power it ." Berners-Lee is currently the director an organisation called the World Wide Web Consortium, which oversees the Web's continued development. Talking about the future the Internet, he said: "Maybe we will be able to build web-based tools that help us keep people the path of collaborating rather than fighting." He hopes the Web will remain "a medium positive change".
