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.

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.

Artificial Intelligence: Challenges of Extended Intelligence
presented by Joi Ito

Machine learning systems that we have today have become so powerful and are being introduced into everything from self-driving cars, to predictive policing, to assisting judges, to producing your news feed on Facebook on what you ought to see. And they have a lot of societal impacts. But they're very difficult to audit. Read more →

Werner Zorn’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech
presented by Werner Zorn

For me it is a fairy tale quite similar to that of the ugly duckling. Perhaps you know. And from the ugly duckling we can learn if you are in such a miserable situation what to do. And what did the little ugly duckling [do]? It went into the world and look for birds of the same feather. Read more →

The Things of the Internet
presented by An Xiao Mina

The Internet meme framework is a useful way to understand a certain range of object production, a certain sort of informal production that combines networked modes of production similar to shanzhai or the hat printing, with the global reach of the Internet and global shipping services as well. The ability to move bits and atoms with just as much ease and efficiency. Read more →
