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.

2013 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Henning Schulzrinne

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.

Ingrid Burrington at Deep Lab
presented by Ingrid Burrington

So much of the work that is being done by the government is actually being done by third parties, and it's a very lucrative business. So I went to this office park and kind of just walked around it, and it's boring. It's really kind of weird and boring and it's weird to think about the fact that these companies that are enormous and involved in pretty unseemly shit appear like this, like this kind of crappy building with this kind of crappy public art.

The Algorithmic Spiral of Silence
presented by Zeynep Tufekci

A couple of major platforms like Facebook and Twitter, YouTube, have become in many places around the world a de facto public sphere. Especially in countries that have less than free Internet, less than free mass media. And these countries have transitioned from a very controlled public sphere to a commercially-run one like Facebook. Read more →
