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

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