Douglas Comer’s Internet Hall of Fame 2019 Induction Speech

presented by Douglas Comer

My final thanks for intim­i­dat­ing me into study­ing pro­to­cols goes to those obnox­ious and absolute­ly incom­pe­tent NSF review­ers who forced me to study.

Klaas Wierenga’s Internet Hall of Fame 2019 Induction Speech

presented by Klaas Wierenga

If I can make one wish for the future, then I think it is to those of you out there that have ideas to make the Internet just a lit­tle bit bet­ter, just a lit­tle bit safer, just a lit­tle bit more user-friendly, to go after it and do it.

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.

In Praise of Discomfort

presented by Marie Jasmin

For an expe­ri­ence to be mem­o­rable let alone trans­for­ma­tive, the human brain has to be pushed out of default auto-pilot mode into con­scious thought. And that push nec­es­sar­i­ly involves some lev­el of discomfort.

presented by Adiel Akplogan

Nominated for effort and con­tri­bu­tion to sev­er­al ini­tia­tives that brought and drew the Internet in West Africa in the 90s, and also for lead­ing and nur­tur­ing the con­sen­sus approach that has helped cre­ate AFRINIC, the Internet num­ber reg­istry in Africa in 2004, I have wit­nessed over those twenty-five years how tech­nol­o­gy can change and improve peo­ple’s lives on a dai­ly basis.

Dan Lynch’s Internet Hall of Fame 2019 Induction Speech

presented by Dan Lynch

I real­ized in about late ​’85, ear­ly ​’86 that peo­ple all over the world were try­ing to build Internet prod­uct stuff, and they were doing a mediocre job. So, I became an edu­ca­tor, I call myself now, of Internet technology.

presented by José Soriano

We dreamed a lot, then we real­ized our dreams. Peruvians, we said in that time, we are not very good in many things but we are survivors.

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Michael Stanton

presented by Michael Stanton

This is some­thing which we believe has to be stressed, that there are users which can­not be served by the com­mer­cial net­works at the moment at a decent price.

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Larry Irving

presented by Larry Irving

I have a lot of fears about the Internet. I fear the loss of pri­va­cy. It is still seen by far too many peo­ple as the domain of oth­er than minori­ties, of oth­er than women, of oth­er than poor peo­ple, and it’s got to be about all of us. I fear that it is becom­ing a pay-to-play eth­ic, and the thing you’re going to be hav­ing to pay with is your privacy.

The Fate of Civil Liberties in National Crises
presented by Elie Mystal, Ian Millhiser, Jennifer Daskal, Mark Joseph Stern

The system I would want is I would want an assurance that if some extraordinary measure has to be put in place temporarily to deal with a temporary crisis, that the word "temporary" will in fact continue to apply. And I will add that this is a moment when I really wish we had a functioning Congress. Read more →

Re-calling the Modem World: The Dial-Up History Of Social Media
presented by Kevin Driscoll

Where did the Internet come from? And in order to answer that question, you would have to have a pretty clear idea of what you mean when you say "the Internet." I suspect that if we were to poll everybody in the room, we would have a variety of different, sometimes contradictory, sometimes incompatible, sometimes overlapping, definitions of "the Internet."

2019 Internet Hall of Fame Inductee Interviews: Adiel Akplogan
presented by Adiel Akplogan

One of the key challenges is the language barrier. In Africa there are three major languages spoken, or used in professional environments: French, English, some Portuguese. And trying to bring the community from all those different language backgrounds to focus on a project like AFRINIC was hard. Read more →

@congressedits: Politics + Wikipedia + Twitter = ?
presented by Ed Summers

I think there’s a set of bizarre individuals in the Capitol building that once they realized that @congressedits was there and had a lot of followers, they were adding these crazy things to Wikipedia. So in this case somebody’s saying Rumsfeld was an alien lizard. Read more →

Humans as Software Extensions
presented by Sebastian Schmieg

What is this condition? I would summarize it as people extending computational systems by offering their bodies, their senses, and their cognition. And specifically, bodies and minds that can be easily plugged in and later easily be discarded. So bodies and minds algorithmically managed and under the permanent pressure of constant availability, efficiency, and perpetual self-optimization. Read more →
