The Breakdown: Joan Donovan on Domestic Misinformation

presented by Joan Donovan, Oumou Ly

We are immersed in a hyper­par­ti­san media ecosys­tem where the future of jour­nal­ism is at stake, the future of social media is at stake. And right now I’m real­ly wor­ried that the US democ­ra­cy might not sur­vive this moment.

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: John Perry Barlow

presented by John Perry Barlow

My great­est hope, and the thing I’ve been work­ing for most of my life now, is that it will real­ize itself as being some­thing that makes it pos­si­ble for any­body to know any­thing that they’re capa­ble of know­ing. Which I think is a won­der­ful thought. Or that it will make it pos­si­ble for any­body that has some­thing impor­tant that oth­er peo­ple should hear to say it, with­out any fear of being shut up or coerced or that sort of thing. 

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Steve Goldstein

presented by Steve Goldstein

There was real­ly no real secu­ri­ty built, oth­er than things like pass­words and maybe some encryp­tion here or there. And the atti­tude that my boss had at National Science Foundation was, ​“That’s not our con­cern. This is for the aca­d­e­mics. People want to build in all kinds of secu­ri­ty, that’s some­body else’s prob­lem.” I think that was a very valid point at that time, but that was 1990.

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Teus Hagen

presented by Teus Hagen

We tried to con­nect to the ARPANET. And that was the Ministry of Defense, and at that time­frame we were in let’s say a ​“cold war” with Russia. And we were not allowed to attest to that. So we silent­ly set up from phone lines SLIP pro­to­col, TCP over ser­i­al lines. And start­ed to do Internet.

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Raúl Echeberría

presented by Raúl Echeberría

The Internet by itself is not valu­able for any­body. The Internet is valu­able if it impacts in the life of the peo­ple. So this is what we have to work on every day.

Scratching the Surface #153: Denise Gonzales Crisp

presented by Denise Gonzales Crisp, Jarrett Fuller

It has devel­op­men­tal­ly tak­en me a long time to real­ize I real­ly need peo­ple. So you know, it goes from that kind of like ​“I’m going to be the hero­ic artist in my ate­lier,” to you know, ​“Let’s get togeth­er and make s’mores and drink whisky and make design.”

The End of the Virtual: Digital Methods

presented by Richard Rogers

What I’m going to do today is sit­u­ate dig­i­tal meth­ods as an approach, as an out­look, in the his­to­ry of Internet-related research. I’d like to divide up the his­to­ry of Internet research large­ly into three eras, the first being where we thought of the Web as a kind of cyberspace.

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Kanchana Kanchanasut

presented by Kanchana Kanchanasut

I think my role for the Internet was that I was lucky to be part of the peo­ple who spread the Internet through Southeast Asia. I brought the Internet to Thailand.

Silencing the Silence
The Vicious Cycle of Censorship and Surveillance

presented by Berhan Taye

Where I come from and where the rest of the world is, the issue’s not intel­li­gence agen­cies hav­ing back­door access to our data. Yes, they do have back­door access to our data, but they also have front door access to our data.

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Ram Mohan

presented by Ram Mohan

Keeping cohe­sion at the core of the Internet is an impor­tant thing. I’m not wor­ried that that’s going to go away. But you have to con­tin­u­al­ly pay atten­tion to it. Because that func­tion of con­verg­ing, at the core is a crit­i­cal one. When you do that well, what it allows is at the edges of the Internet it allows for things to hap­pen. For inno­va­tion, for ideas to happen.

Architectures of Quarantine & Containment
presented by David A. Garcia, Léopold Lambert

One very interesting addition to the public space is how we are conditioning and defining the public space with regards to eventual attacks. And it's changing the landscape radically. And the very first knee-jerk reaction was concrete blocks in front of many institutions. Now they're trying to design these concrete blocks so they seem something which is part of the landscape but the presence and the robustness is still so violent that it's hard to hide the intention.

Internet Hall of Fame 2019 Induction Speech on Behalf of Suguru Yamaguchi
presented by Hiroshi Esaki, Rui Takita, Suguru Yamaguchi

I was born in 1999. Some people like to call my generation the Internet experts. For us, the Internet existed from the moment we were born. And its safety was taken for granted. However, this is all due to the work of my father and his allies speaking to the world, telling them security on the Internet is going to be highly important fifteen years before I was even born.

Forbidden Research Welcome and Introduction: Cory Doctorow
presented by Cory Doctorow

At that moment when everybody is suddenly caring about this stuff, that's the moment at which nihilism can be averted. It's the moment in which nihilism must be averted if you're going to make a change. Peak indifference is the moment when you stop convincing people to care about an issue, and start convincing them to do something about it. Read more →
