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.

Ermanno Pietrosemoli’s Internet Hall of Fame 2017 Induction Speech

presented by Ermanno Pietrosemoli

My grat­i­tude to the International Center for Theoretical Physics, which in 1990 held the first net­work­ing school that was the inspi­ra­tion for the cre­ation of EsLaRed, and for the con­tin­u­ing sup­port offered ever since to out institution.

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.

It’s kind of excit­ing to be here. And being the first, but that’s what you get when your name starts with an A, I guess. 

Tracy LaQuey Parker’s Internet Hall of Fame 2017 Induction Speech

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.

Yvonne Marie Andrés’ Internet Hall of Fame 2017 Induction Speech

presented by Yvonne Marie Andrés

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.

2017 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Alan Emtage

presented by Alan Emtage

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.

presented by Alan Emtage

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.

Ed Krol’s Internet Hall of Fame 2017 Induction Speech

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 #42 — Gary L. Francione
presented by Aengus Anderson, Gary L Francione, Micah Saul, Neil Prendergast

The best justification we have for killing fifty-six, fifty-seven, whatever billion land animals and a trillion sea animals every year is that they taste good. And so, in a sense how is this any different from Michael Vick, who likes to sit around a pit watching dogs fight, or at least he used to? Read more →

Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism
presented by Safiya Noble

One of the things that I think is really important is that we're paying attention to how we might be able to recuperate and recover from these kinds of practices. So rather than thinking of this as just a temporary kind of glitch, in fact I'm going to show you several of these glitches and maybe we might see a pattern. Read more →

Disposable Life: Griselda Pollock
presented by Griselda Pollock

At the intersection of the politics of art or literature or film and political theory, I've been thinking about disposable life through a number of lenses, particularly through work on the Holocaust and work that I've been doing with Max Silverman on a slightly different element of it called "concentrationary memory."

Data & Society Databite #119: Mary L. Gray on Ghost Work
presented by Dean Jansen, Mary L. Gray

I'm just going to say it, I would like to completely blow up employment classification as we know it. I do not think that defining full-time work as the place where you get benefits, and part-time work as the place where you have to fight to get a full-time job, is an appropriate way of addressing this labor market.
