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.

How to Knit a Popular History of Media
presented by Kristen Haring

Morse code knitting is a component of a larger study that I'm doing on the culture of binary systems across many centuries. One premise of that historical investigation is that the powerful adaptability of binary systems is revealed partly through their diversity. Read more →

Disposable Life: Ananya Roy
presented by Ananya Roy

I think what is particularly striking about the question of disposable lives in the 21st century is what seems to be a new global common sense about poverty, the ways in which poverty and particularly poor others have become visible. And how that in turn, particularly for millennials in the Global North—college students, young professionals, so-called ordinary global citizens of the world—how this has mobilized them to action.

After the Next Attack: Terrorism in the Trump Era
presented by Saud Al-Zaid

My prediction was that there would be some form of an attack in the United States or possibly in the foreign territories or interests. My talk would have been a breakdown or dissection and contextualization of the event. And of course, so far in the Trump administration there's no attack. Well, at least no real ones. Some of us might remember Bowling Green. Read more →

Longines Chronoscope 12/07/1951 with Arthur Garfield Hays
presented by Arthur Garfield Hays, Frank Knight, Victor Riesel, William Bradford Huie

This idea of finding a communist under the bed seems me all nonsense. And the result of the whole thing is that Americans now are so timid about expressing themselves that we've practically given up democratic methods and free speech. … The result is that we act as one and even on controversial subjects we don't find any debate in public life. And don't dare. Read more →

What Algorithms Taught Me About Forgiveness
presented by Julia Angwin

I decided I wanted to do some accountability studies about algorithms in our lives. And it's hard to study the newsfeed in a quantitative way, and I also wanted something with higher stakes. So I started with an algorithm that is used in the criminal justice system to predict whether a person is likely to commit a future crime. Read more →
