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. 

Craig Partridge’s Internet Hall of Fame 2017 Induction Speech

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.

The Conversation #7 — Alexander Rose
presented by Aengus Anderson, Alexander Rose, Micah Saul

If the point of making a 10,000-year clock is to get people to think longer term how do you design that experience so that it really does that? And one of the things that we we realized is that people really need to be able to interact with it. That they need to be able to make the moment they visit it their own. So while the clock does keep time all by itself with the temperature difference from day to night, it doesn't actually update any of the dials, none of the chimes chime, unless someone's there to wind it.

Nostalgia for the Net: Tom Armitage
presented by Tom Armitage

The thing I kind of miss is when it was small enough to know everybody. The thing about the MUD was actually the number of regular players I reckon was probably about fifty. And everybody knew everybody's names. And everybody would wave when you saw somebody else was online. Read more →
