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.

Religion and World Politics part 1
presented by Stephen Chan

We're looking at religion as an organized and above all institutionalized system of beliefs. The organization particularly of textual or other recorded teachings that form the basic faith framework of the religion, and the institutionalization which polices those teachings, polices the extent, the limits, and above all the interpretation of what those texts might mean.

Safiya Noble at Biased Data
presented by Safiya Noble

I often try to tell people that Google is not providing information retrieval algorithms, it's providing advertising algorithms. And that is a very important distinction when we think about what kind of information is available in these corporate-controlled spaces. Read more →

Postcapitalism
presented by Paul Mason

Neoliberalism is broken. The economic model of the last thirty years. It worked for a bit, dragged the bottom two thirds of the world's population up the income scale dramatically, facilitated the tech revolution. But it's stopped working. Read more →

2019 Internet Hall of Fame Inductee Interviews: Larry Irving
presented by Larry Irving

None of us predicted YouTube, none of us predicted Facebook, none of us predicted Twitter, none of us predicted so many things we take for granted today. I'm not gonna get in the guessing game anymore. What I do think is, the more people of good intentions get involved in this, the more this becomes about people and less about profit, the better off we'll be. Read more →

Nancy Hafkin’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech
presented by Nancy Hafkin

About 1988, I was running a regional development information system at the United Nations economic commission for Africa in Addis Ababa. It was based on exchange of information with nodes in virtually every African country, and it was to be based on satellites for the exchange of that information. Unfortunately the satellites weren't there. Read more →
