John Klensin’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by John Klensin

When many of the peo­ple in this room were begin­ning to lay the ground­work for the net­work in the 60s, I was work­ing as a polit­i­cal sci­en­tist and wor­ry­ing about com­mu­ni­ca­tions pat­terns and how those worked.

Elizabeth Feinler’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Elizabeth Feinler

When I first start­ed on the Internet in 1972, I joined Doug Engelbart’s group, Augmentation Research Center, and I did­n’t know exact­ly what a net­work infor­ma­tion cen­ter was but I thought we were going to be han­dling infor­ma­tion in a very dif­fer­ent way, and it was very addictive.

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.

Randy Bush’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Randy Bush

We mean well, but we also do good and we also do dam­age. Well-meaning Americans did some­thing called the Leland Initiative, which broke net­work­ing in the indige­nous net­works in ten African coun­tries and empow­ered the PTT monopolies.

Daniel Karrenberg’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Daniel Karrenberg

In 1992…I had a plan. And that plan was to set up the first region­al Internet reg­istry, and in April 1993 to be done with the Internet and move on to the next inter­est­ing thing.

Craig Newmark’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Craig Newmark

The peo­ple who real­ly get the cred­it are the peo­ple who built the Internet, includ­ing a lot of peo­ple we nev­er hear about. The cred­it also goes to peo­ple who help each oth­er out every day, some­times in large num­bers, who nev­er get any recog­ni­tion at all.

Brewster Kahle’s Internet Hall of Fame 2012 Induction Speech

presented by Brewster Kahle

Back in 1980, work­ing with the arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence guys, we had this idea we were going to make smart machines. But it need­ed to read good books, don’t you think?

The Conversation #46 — Mark Mykleby

presented by Aengus Anderson, Mark Mykleby, Micah Saul, Neil Prendergast

Today, in America right now, we only can think of growth in quan­ti­ta­tive terms. And in a resource-constrained envi­ron­ment, how frickin’ stu­pid is that? You’re actu­al­ly impos­ing your own death sen­tence by not being able to get over the grip of this quan­ti­ta­tive dynamic.

Longines Chronoscope 12/07/1951 with Arthur Garfield Hays

presented by Arthur Garfield Hays, Frank Knight, Victor Riesel, William Bradford Huie

This idea of find­ing a com­mu­nist under the bed seems me all non­sense. And the result of the whole thing is that Americans now are so timid about express­ing them­selves that we’ve prac­ti­cal­ly giv­en up demo­c­ra­t­ic meth­ods and free speech. … The result is that we act as one and even on con­tro­ver­sial sub­jects we don’t find any debate in pub­lic life. And don’t dare.

Building Your Own Personal Truth

presented by Euan Semple

I think we are grop­ing towards this idea of truth. And even the word truth can be defined in mul­ti­ple dif­fer­ent ways. So we are by its very nature deal­ing with a very slip­pery topic.

Collusion pilot episode
presented by Luiza Prado, Zara Rahman

We firmly believe that no technology is neutral, and that power and technology are inextricably interlinked. In this podcast, we want to explore this relationship further, thinking about the power dynamics that are, and have been in the past, created by technology. Read more →

Khaleeji Design: An Imported Aesthetic?
presented by Nawar Al-Kazemi

If you are given the task to lecture on design somewhere in the Middle East, do you think you'll need to tailor your approach? Maybe think about your references, the language, the vastly different background? The answer most probably is "yes." But the reality of design education in the Middle East, and more specifically the Gulf Region, prove otherwise. Read more →

The Fight for Artistic Freedom
presented by Wanuri Kahiu

When the film was banned, I was really, really, really surprised. And what surprised me the most about the ban was the reason the Kenya Film Classification Board gave. They gave the reason that the film was not remorseful enough. They said that if I change the ending of the film and make it more remorseful, then they would give me a rating. Because they didn't like the idea of legitimizing, or normalizing, the LGBT community in Kenya. Which was ridiculous. Read more →
