Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Klaas Wierenga

presented by Klaas Wierenga

As some­one who has been involved for twen­ty years in trust and iden­ti­ty and secu­ri­ty, I still was shocked after the Snowden Revelations.

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: José Soriano

presented by José Soriano

My fears today are the com­pa­nies, the twenty-six per­sons who have the 48% of the cap­i­tal of the world. And as the Internet reflects the world, we have the same in the Internet.

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Jean Armour Polly

presented by Jean Armour Polly

A lot of these things were pre­dict­ed, and we were told about them—we were warned about them. Things like loss of pri­va­cy and malev­o­lence on the Internet and mal­ware. We were warned, and a lot of us um, put on our rose-colored glass­es and said oh well, let’s go chas­ing water­falls anyway.

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Elise Gerich

presented by Elise Gerich

I real­ly hope that the Internet can con­tin­ue to have con­nec­tiv­i­ty with­out bifur­ca­tion. That we don’t have lit­tle Internets everywhere.

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Douglas Comer

presented by Douglas Comer

It’s always true that it’s eas­i­er to break things than to make them secure. So, as long as we have just an arms race, the bad guys will keep winning. 

Hopes and Fears for the Future of the Internet: Adiel Akplogan

presented by Adiel Akplogan

My hope is that the Internet con­tin­ues to devel­op based on its under­ly­ing cul­ture, which is an open tech­nol­o­gy that is acces­si­ble to everyone.

The Breakdown: Jonathan Zittrain Reflects on 2019–2020 Assembly Program, Disinformation

presented by Jonathan Zittrain, Oumou Ly

What would it mean to have peo­ple who weren’t just aca­d­e­mics in an envi­ron­ment true to the high­est ideals of acad­e­mia? Of solv­ing prob­lems, of exam­in­ing ques­tions and our own assump­tions about answers to those questions? 

Amniotechnics

presented by Sophie Lewis

Full Surrogacy Now means two dialec­ti­cal­ly opposed things. It is simul­ta­ne­ous­ly a utopi­an cry for the queer ges­ta­tion­al com­mune, and a descrip­tion of what’s going on right now, which is very much not that. The dystopi­an struc­ture of plan­e­tary real­i­ty in the present. Indentured ser­vice, sub­al­ter­ni­ty, crowd­fund­ing, out­sourc­ing, neo­feu­dal­ism, civ­il strifes, invis­i­b­lized sub-sub-contracting, and above all—to use the phrase of Shellee Colen—reproductive stratification. 

A Globally Just Green New Deal

presented by Thea Riofrancos

In a world of globally-dispersed sup­ply chains, an ener­gy tran­si­tion in the United States has impli­ca­tions for the extrac­tion, pro­duc­tion, and dis­tri­b­u­tion of resources and tech­nol­o­gy in places well beyond US borders.

Planning the Green New Deal
Climate Justice and the Politics of Sites and Scales

presented by Kian Goh, Timmons Roberts

The urgency of cli­mate change and the rise of a grass­roots leg­isla­tive polit­i­cal envi­ron­men­tal move­ment in the United States should change the way urban plan­ners think and act on spa­tial change and social justice.

2014 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Douglas van Houweling
presented by Douglas van Houweling

When we started the activity to build the National Science Foundation Network, or NSFNET, we had a clear understanding that the money that the federal government was going to be able to spend on the network wouldn't be adequate to do the job that the community required. 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."

The Conversation #11 — Lisa Petrides
presented by Aengus Anderson, Lisa Petrides, Micah Saul

Obviously there's human rights that have to do with water and air and safety and shelter, but I think education is right there with it because it really is a public good. I have such a hard time with people who say, for example, who don't have children and say, "Well why should I pay those taxes. I don't have anybody in the schools. It's not benefitting me." And I think how can you possibly say that? Those are the people that are servicing you, whether they're servicing your roads or your supermarket or your medical offices. Read more →

The Cellular Basis of Neural Computation
presented by Michael Hausser

Over the past century, we've been to the moon, we've split the atom, we've sequenced the human genome, but were still only at the very beginning of our understanding of the human brain. This is one of the great challenges that we face. If we can understand the brain, we can develop better treatments for brain disorders, we can design better robots, better computers, and ultimately we can better understand ourselves. Read more →
