presented by Eric Allman

When I start­ed, of course, there was no capital‑I Internet. There were, how­ev­er, even­tu­al­ly a bunch of small­er net­works that did­n’t talk to each oth­er, and I decid­ed that they need­ed to talk to each oth­er at least for email.

presented by Douglas van Houweling

One of the things that we have dis­cov­ered over and over again, as we build net­works that move elec­trons around and pho­tons around, is that human beings use those to con­nect with one anoth­er. We think we’re con­nect­ing com­put­ers togeth­er, it turns out we’re con­nect­ing human beings together.

I was hired to build a super­com­put­er access net­work. or a set of net­works for super­com­put­er access. The rea­son I took the job was that I saw an oppor­tu­ni­ty to do some­thing much big­ger in that.

It’s an hon­or for me to be here. It’s an unde­served hon­or for me. But I am proud to be a tiny bit of this con­struc­tion, this mar­velous con­struc­tion that the Internet is and keeps being.

presented by Eleanor Saitta

presented by Hossein Derakhshan

Ten Years of Terror: Steven Graham
