Mitchell Baker’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Mitchell Baker

The thing that always amazed me about [the Internet] is that it was just there. It was­n’t a giant announce­ment. It was­n’t a per­son. It was­n’t an orga­ni­za­tion. It was just there.

How to Overthrow a Government

presented by Chris Rock

I don’t want to live in a world where ISIS is scari­er than hack­ers, espe­cial­ly in 2016. We pre­vi­ous­ly held the title in 2013, ​’14, and ​’15. And to be hon­est I was a lit­tle bit dis­ap­point­ed when I saw this result. So I thought I’m in my 40s now, there’s a lot of young hack­ers in the audi­ence, and I’m not going to pass the baton to you guys unless we have that num­ber one spot back in our pile.

A #Netfreedom Agenda for the 45th POTUS

presented by Amie Stepanovich, Daniel Calingaert, David A. Gross, Nilmini Rubin, Rebecca MacKinnon

In addi­tion to free­dom to con­nect, there also needs to be the abil­i­ty to con­nect, and that we need to mod­el best prac­tice at home and around the world, and the poli­cies that relate to that.

The Coming War on General Computation

presented by Cory Doctorow

General pur­pose com­put­ers are in fact astound­ing. So astound­ing that our soci­ety is still strug­gling to come to grips with them. To fig­ure out what they’re for. To fig­ure out how to accom­mo­date them and how to cope with them.

Raymond Tomlinson’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Raymond Tomlinson

The email @-sign, all that busi­ness, sort of nev­er came to light until about 1994, at which point some­body asked ​“Where did email come from?”

Philip Zimmermann’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Philip Zimmermann

PGP Started out as a human rights project. At the time, there was no way for ordi­nary peo­ple, as opposed to gov­ern­ments or suf­fi­cient­ly resourced institutions—there was no way for ordi­nary peo­ple to com­mu­ni­cate secure­ly over long dis­tances with­out the risk of inter­cep­tion. And so PGP was to change that.

Kilnam Chon’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Kilnam Chon

When you move out of this room, you can­not use the Internet any­more. Then what would you do? Today, we have two bil­lion peo­ple, includ­ing us, who can access the Internet. Then there is just sim­ple math. There’s five bil­lion peo­ple who don’t have access to the Internet. That’s my concern.

Lawrence Landweber’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Lawrence Landweber

My involve­ment with net­works start­ed in the late 70s. In fact, 1977 I was hap­pi­ly prov­ing the­o­rems in com­pu­ta­tion­al com­plex­i­ty, Petri nets, and at that point I’d learned about email and I learned about the ARPANET and real­ized for the first time that there was a real-world part of com­put­er sci­ence, and not just prov­ing theorems.

Lawrence Roberts’ Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Lawrence Roberts

The way it all start­ed was in 1964 I was at a con­fer­ence in the home­stead in Virginia. And Lick and I were sit­ting around talk­ing with Corbató, who was run­ning the time-sharing sys­tem at MIT. And Lick was talk­ing about what do we need next? And I was very inter­est­ed in that. And so he was say­ing, ​“Well, we need a net­work to tie the machines togeth­er. We need some way to have them communicate.”

Steve Crocker’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Steve Crocker

We had to choose a name for the oper­at­ing sys­tem for our net­work. We checked var­i­ous things— We had a Sigma 7, we went Sigma 7 Executive, 7 Executive, just SEX. First post on the ARPANET, we put sex on the Internet. It’s documented.

Data & Society Databite #102: The Entropy of a System
presented by Tega Brain

I'm particularly concerned with how to design from the dystopian position of the Anthropocene. How to make creative work that is simultaneously critical and generative. What does it mean to have augmented the atmosphere and the ocean's capacity to absorb heat? And to be rapidly increasing the entropy of those systems? Read more →

The Platonic Network
presented by Alex Wright

I wanted to give you a little bit of perspective on Otlet's broader vision, which I think is in a way even more interesting as a reference point for thinking about some of the changes we're seeing today as our lives are increasingly reshaped by technology and networks. What Otlet offers is a different way into that space, and a different way of thinking about what a networked world could look like. Read more →

Collusion episode 3: Food
presented by Luiza Prado, Zara Rahman

Food has always been tightly intertwined with culture and identity. As a result, it's also been a common target of colonialism. Colonizers understood that by wiping out people's food traditions, it would be easier to wipe out their origins, their identity, and their history. This kind of trend isn't only in the past, though. In many areas of the world, dietary habits are changing, food inequality is rife, and somehow both obesity and hunger are on the rise on a global scale. Read more →

Longines Chronoscope 06/25/1952 with Senator Joseph R. McCarthy
presented by Donald I. Rogers, Joseph R. McCarthy, William Bradford Huie

I may say this, that if the Republicans should take over the Senate, I happen to be the ranking member on the investigating committee. That means that McCarthy would become Chairman of the Senate Investigating Committee. And if he does, I'll make you one promise. That Leavenworth won't hold them, Mr. Huie. Read more →

The Geographic Opportunities and Challenges of AI
presented by Malavika Jayaram

I think developments in artificial intelligence do pose a strong challenge for humanity. I think at a very fundamental level, people don't quite understand what artificial intelligence is, yet it's used as a buzzword that's going to solve every single problem. Read more →
