18. “ The primary design principle underlying the Web’s
    usefulness and growth is universality. When you make a
    link, you can link to anything. [...] The Web should be
    usable by people with disabilities. It must work with any
    form of information, be it a document or a point of data,
    and information of any quality — from a silly tweet to a
    scholarly paper. And it should be accessible from any kind
    of hardware that can connect to the Internet: stationary or
    mobile, small screen or large. ”
    Tim Berners-Lee
