2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Kees Neggers

presented by Kees Neggers

It’s obvi­ous that the Internet is a tremen­dous suc­cess, and the world is not pre­pared to live with­out it any­more. At the same time, it has nev­er been designed to pro­vide the ser­vices it is assumed to do today.

presented by Henning Schulzrinne

We’ve designed sys­tems not real­ly well antic­i­pat­ing the kind of users that would real­ly use them, think­ing that they would—or maybe not even thinking—that they would be used in the same way that they were in the 1980s and 1990s.

The great­est threat to the secu­ri­ty and sta­bil­i­ty of our Internet today is dis­trib­uted attacks, dis­trib­uted denial of ser­vice attacks in par­tic­u­lar. The Internet was built on a foun­da­tion of it works because every­body coop­er­ates and we all agree. And that was a great envi­ron­ment when you pret­ty much could name every­body who was on the Internet, or you got to where you could name all the sites and you know, you could name all the organizations.

We’re at a time of huge expan­sion of the Internet out­side of the kinds of Internet con­nec­tions and devices that we’re famil­iar with. We’ve seen some of that over the past few years as we’ve moved from lap­tops, desk­top com­put­ers, to smart­phones and tablets and we’ve seen a big increase. Right now instead of a tablet and a lap­top at home, you’ve got a tablet, two iPhones, and a desk­top computer.

I was par­tic­i­pat­ing in a European Commission project, and it was real­ly a sur­pris­ing peri­od. In less than ten years, the whole Internet changed.

I think he would to some extent be sur­prised that busi­ness has hijacked the Internet in a cer­tain sense. That the enter­tain­ment industry…I’ll just pick on them but oth­er indus­tries too, that’ve basi­cal­ly exploit­ed that sort of deliv­ery vehi­cle that was made not real­ly with them in mind but they have gained such a dom­i­nant posi­tion in dic­tat­ing how and where the Internet goes.

In some ways, I helped put the ​“inter” into the Internet because it was the first time these administratively-different net­works were con­nect­ed togeth­er and could con­nect togeth­er as they wished.

There’s lots of fears. So one major fear would be pri­va­cy. So pri­va­cy is some­thing which we used to take for grant­ed. Now we can­not. The oth­er major fear I have is centralization.

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: George Sadowsky

presented by George Sadowsky

I would hope that ten or twen­ty years from now we live in a world in which Internet access is tak­en almost for grant­ed, and that it’s con­ceiv­able that the Internet—the name ​“Internet”—will actu­al­ly fade and we’ll just con­sid­er it part of the infra­struc­ture that we’re used to just like you know, there’ll be a plug in the wall for infor­ma­tion ser­vices over the Internet.

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: François Flückiger

presented by François Flückiger

The main fear I have, and I believe most of my col­leagues have, is to see the Internet more frag­ment­ed than it is, and much more frag­ment­ed than we want­ed it to be. When we designed it, we devel­oped tech­nol­o­gy which was due to be open, which means that every­one knows the tech­nol­o­gy, every­one can devel­op it, and every­one can improve it as well.

Art && Code Homemade: Max Bittker
presented by Max Bittker

I think that I've tried to make things that expose the internals of the way that they work. And so computers are by default kind of opaque, and I think that any time a system can put a glass lid on what's happening inside, or make it audible in some way, is one step that you can take to share and make that less of a single-person experience.

The Conversation #4 — Colin Camerer
presented by Aengus Anderson, Colin Camerer, Micah Saul

We know very little about complex financial systems and how systemic risk, as it's called, is computed and how you would manage policies. And if you look back at the financial crisis, you can either say, as many economists do, "It all had to do with badly-designed rules," which may be part of the story; it's certainly part of the story. Or it may have to do with the interaction of those rules and human nature, like mortgage broker greed, optimism… And you see it not just in individuals who now have houses and foreclosure, but at the highest levels.

Art, Design, and the Future of Privacy Introduction
presented by Marvin Jordan, Meredith Whittaker

We have to know what we want. We have to imagine how it looks. We have to understand how it feels, how it smells, how it functions, before we can design it. Before we can code it. Before we can implement it, and before we can sell it. Read more →

The Conversation #42 — Gary L. Francione
presented by Aengus Anderson, Gary L Francione, Micah Saul, Neil Prendergast

The best justification we have for killing fifty-six, fifty-seven, whatever billion land animals and a trillion sea animals every year is that they taste good. And so, in a sense how is this any different from Michael Vick, who likes to sit around a pit watching dogs fight, or at least he used to? Read more →
