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.

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.

ASU KEDtalks: Risk Is Not Just a Four Letter Word
presented by Andrew Maynard

Risk is a funny thing. It affects pretty much everything we do. And yet, most of the time we treat it like a dirty little secret. Something that's there, but we'd rather not talk about it, a little bit like an embarrassing relative. This probably isn't such a good idea, though. Read more →

Governing Algorithms, An Introduction
presented by Malte Ziewitz

So how did this start? Actually all of us—Solon, Sophie, and many other fellows and research, not just at PRG, the Information Law Institute, but also at MCC—we've been studying computation, automation, and control in different forms for quite a long time. But it was only at the end of last summer really that we realized that there's this new notion of the algorithm gaining currency. Read more →

FollowBias: Supporting Behavior Change Toward Gender Equality on Social Media
presented by J. Nathan Matias

In 2011, the cultural critic Emily Nussbaum reflected on the flowering of online feminism through new publications, social media conversations, and digital organizing. But Nussbaum worried, even if you can expand the supply of who's writing, will that actually change the influence of women's voices in society? What if online feminism was just an echo chamber?

Disposable Life: Carol Gluck
presented by Carol Gluck

I've been thinking about disposable life and the meaning that might have in societies today. And I decided that the kind of disposable life that most concerns me is the kind that we either resolutely don't see, ignore, or neglect. Or the kind that we do see but can't seem to deal with. Read more →
