According to Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, at http://www.w3.org/WAI/:
The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.
Here are a few other quotes from Sir Tim Berners-Lee taken from the site https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee:
We should work toward a universal linked information system, in which generality and portability are more important than fancy graphics techniques and complex extra facilities. The aim would be to allow a place to be found for any information or reference which one felt was important, and a way of finding it afterwards. The result should be sufficiently attractive to use that it the information contained would grow past a critical threshold, so that the usefulness the scheme would in turn encourage its increased use. The passing of this threshold accelerated by allowing large existing databases to be linked together and with new ones. "Information Management: A Proposal" (March 1989), the original proprosal for the software project at CERN that became the World Wide Web.
The fact that we're all connected, the fact that we've got this information space DOES change the parameters. It changes the way people live and work. It changes things for good and for bad. But I think, in general, it's clear that most bad things come from misunderstanding, and communication is generally the way to resolve misunderstandings ‐ and the Web's a form of communications ‐ so it generally should be good. But I think, also, we have to watch whether we preserve the stability of the world — like we don't want to watch this phenomena like the stock market becoming unstable when it became computerized, for example. We need to look at the whole society and think, "Are we actually thinking about what we're doing as we go forward, and are we preserving the really important values that we have in society? Are we keeping it democratic, and open, and so on?" developerWorks Interviews: Tim Berners-Lee (podcast/audio plus transcript)
I don't believe in the sort of eureka moment idea. I think it's a myth. I'm very suspicious that actually Archimedes had been thinking about that problem for a long time. And it wasn't that suddenly it came to him. developerWorks Interviews: Tim Berners-Lee (podcast/audio plus transcript)
Anyone who slaps a this page is best viewed with Browser X label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network. Technology Review (July 1996)
