At W3C@30 @seth talked about the power of and our responsibility for the web to work for humanity.

"It's a privilege to be amongst so many that have created an incredible history, and I'm glad to have the chance to honor our community tonight for all that you've done.

I think it's perhaps an even greater privilege to now be amongst so many that will be part of writing the future history of the web and technology that is yet to be written and that is with all of you"
