François Flückiger’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

presented by François Flückiger

CERN is a place where we try and under­stand where the uni­verse comes from. And to do that we need tech­nol­o­gy. This is why we devel­oped the Web.

Barry Leiner’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech (Posthumous)

presented by Barry Leiner

Barry had a remark­able abil­i­ty to bring togeth­er diverse peo­ple, orga­ni­za­tions, to help make deci­sions and the plans that became the Internet as we know it today.

Dave Farber’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

presented by Dave Farber

I guess I’m sup­posed to say how his­toric things hap­pen, but what I’d like to do is actu­al­ly para­phrase a com­ment that is fair­ly tra­di­tion­al in math­e­mat­ics and was first taught to me by Dick Hamming, that I have done good things (I’m para­phras­ing) because I’ve stood on the shoul­ders of great peo­ple that pre­ced­ed me.

Anne-Marie Eklund Löwinder’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

presented by Anne-Marie Eklund Löwinder

This is a very great hon­or and I’m proud, hon­ored, but not so lit­tle sur­prised to be here. But still, even though I’m not a trou­ble­mak­er, I may well not be an evan­ge­list, but I’m a real­ly real­ly stub­born lady.

Who and What Will Get to Think the Future?

presented by Ed Finn, Ted Chiang

There’s already a kind of cog­ni­tive invest­ment that we make, you know. At a cer­tain point, you have years of your per­son­al his­to­ry liv­ing in some­body’s cloud. And that goes beyond mere­ly being a mem­o­ry bank, it’s also a cog­ni­tive bank in some way.

Richard Stallman’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

presented by Richard Stallman

So, thir­ty years ago if you want­ed to get a new com­put­er and use it you had to sur­ren­der your free­dom by installing a user-subjugating pro­pri­etary oper­at­ing sys­tem. So I decid­ed to fix that by devel­op­ing anoth­er oper­at­ing sys­tem and make it free, and it’s called GNU, but most the time you’ll hear peo­ple erro­neous­ly call­ing it Linux.

Mapping the Intricacies of Evolving Food Systems

presented by Graham MacDonald

In many coun­tries, the very abil­i­ty to eat a food like avo­ca­do is a direct ben­e­fit of inter­na­tion­al trade. We are eat­ing on an inter­con­nect­ed plan­et. Food trade now shapes land use world­wide and is reshap­ing the food sup­plies of many nations.

Building Resilient Cities Through Restoration of Fragmented Urban Ecosystems

presented by Andrew Gonzalez

Cities form a vast glob­al net­work con­nect­ed by flows of ener­gy, food, infor­ma­tion. This glob­al net­work is the chal­lenge of the 21st cen­tu­ry. How do we make more sus­tain­able cities, with small­er eco­log­i­cal foot­prints and more equi­table human wellbeing?

Forbidden Research: Messing with Nature Part I: Genetics

presented by George Church, Kevin Esvelt, Megan Palmer, Ryan Phelan

When it comes to a field as fast-moving and as high of stakes as genet­ic engi­neer­ing, how do we pro­ceed wise­ly? How do we bal­ance our own wild­ness and civil­i­ty as we devel­op increas­ing­ly pow­er­ful ways to inter­act with the liv­ing world?

The Conversation #42 — Gary L. Francione

presented by Aengus Anderson, Gary L Francione, Micah Saul, Neil Prendergast

The best jus­ti­fi­ca­tion we have for killing fifty-six, fifty-seven, what­ev­er bil­lion land ani­mals and a tril­lion sea ani­mals every year is that they taste good. And so, in a sense how is this any dif­fer­ent from Michael Vick, who likes to sit around a pit watch­ing dogs fight, or at least he used to?

2014 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Chester Soong
presented by Chester Soong

I was lucky enough to start off as one of the first ISPs in Hong Kong back in 1995. I was heading up the Internet service providers association locally. And that kind of led us to have a central or organized body to discuss with the government on Internet regulations or telecommunications issues among us. And that kind of opened the door to many of the issues that we are facing today like copyright, privacy, security, and even just Internet accessibility. Read more →

Casey Reas at p5js Diversity
presented by Casey Reas

The way that you think about software affects the kinds of things that you can do. Traditionally you would learn computer programming through operating on math, or operating on language, and in order to bring these ideas into the visual arts we decided to build a custom language that allowed people to have visual expressions.

Art && Code Homemade: Daniela Rosner
presented by Daniela Rosner

Bringing a kind of fabulation or fabulatory practice to design, I want us to try to understand design a bit differently, as a kind of multi-bounded process that starts as very small gestures and begins with doing the impossible. Read more →

Applying Neuroscientific Findings to Enduring Social Problems
presented by Keith Humphreys

When lower primates form a hierarchy, those at the bottom undergo a change in their dopamine system. This makes them more likely to consume drugs in an addictive fashion. Now, if this turns out to be true of our species, that would mean that human beings are particularly vulnerable if they're in some way dominated or don't have any power. Read more →
