Florencio Utreras’ Internet Hall of Fame 2017 Induction Speech

presented by Florencio Utreras

During all this time, many of you have been involved in devel­op­ing the Internet and mak­ing it the tool of many phas­es. From aca­d­e­m­ic col­lab­o­ra­tion, to busi­ness and shop­ping. From social inter­ac­tion, to democ­ra­cy pro­mo­tion. In short, to all feats of human activ­i­ty. We have gone from the pro­mo­tion of con­nec­tiv­i­ty to a connectivity-dependent soci­ety, and many could feel that the job is done.

Ira Fuchs’ Internet Hall of Fame 2017 Induction Speech

presented by Ira Fuchs

People have asked me, ​“Why did you cre­ate BITNET?” Well, the truth­ful answer is I was envi­ous of ARPANET users. They had access to the most excit­ing tech­nol­o­gy at the time. But ARPANET, as you know, was only avail­able to a rel­a­tive­ly small group of devel­op­ers and researchers. And we did­n’t know if it would ever be made avail­able to others.

presented by Tracy LaQuey Parker

I often think back to my life before I start­ed using the Internet. Well basi­cal­ly I had a life. But once I sat down at a Sun work­sta­tion at the University of Texas in 1988, I was com­plete­ly hooked. And I’ve been addict­ed ever since.

I had a life-changing moment in 1984 that final­ly got my stu­dents excit­ed about learn­ing. Apple launched a pro­gram called Kids Can’t Wait and gave every school in California a com­put­er. Unfortunately the com­put­er did not come with software.

Back in 1989 when I was a stu­dent at McGill University I devel­oped what became the first Internet search engine. So the pre­de­ces­sor to Google and Bing and all of those things.

The Internet as we know it today would­n’t exist were it not for the fact that a lot of the orga­ni­za­tions and indi­vid­u­als who worked on it back then freely allowed the fruit of their work to be dis­trib­uted for free.

presented by Craig Partridge

If you talk with peo­ple wor­ried about the evo­lu­tion of tech­nol­o­gy one of the things they often com­ment about is that in many cas­es the future is quite clear. You can see it com­ing, but you don’t know how far away it is.

presented by Edward Krol

When I first learned about being named for this award, I lis­tened to the accep­tance speech­es of pri­or awardees and I noticed the cen­tral theme was ​“I just hap­pened to be in the right place at the right time.” And in fact I just hap­pened to be in the right place at the right time.

Holding To Account
presented by Anil Dash

I'm glad those social networks provide those services. I think it's important for the dialogue to happen that way. But it can't be the only way for us to have public discourse. Online, we only have these spaces that are owned by private companies. We don't have public parks. Read more →

Knutepunkt 2017 Keynote: Present, by Eleanor Saitta
presented by Eleanor Saitta

I think of larp in a couple different ways. And one of the ways that I think of it is as storytelling for the network age. This is storytelling in the first-person present tense plural, and it is not very often that humanity comes up with a new tense in which to tell stories. That's actually kind of a big deal.

presented by Steve Goldstein

As I was coming over toward Brussels in the airplane, happened look down the window and there were the Straits of Dover. And the melody just came to my mind, you know, "I'm flying over the white cliffs of Dover," the World War II melody. And it reminded me that I am not of this Internet generation. Read more →
