Werner Zorn’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

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.

JCR Licklider’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech (Posthumous)

He would say to you that you are all wrong and that he nev­er should have been cho­sen to receive this award. He was a fair­ly hum­ble guy and would sit here—and it’s been a recur­ring theme—he would begin nam­ing the names of all the peo­ple who real­ly did the work. And he would sort of just say, I was there.”

George Sadowsky’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

After two weeks we were nowhere. And it drove home to me the con­cept of infor­ma­tion pover­ty in a way that no oth­er expe­ri­ence had.

Gihan Dias’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

In 2002, I took up anoth­er chal­lenge. That is, how we make these com­put­ers avail­able for peo­ple who do not speak English?

Glenn Ricart’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

The first Internet exchange with­out a gate­way in the mid­dle appears to have been in College Park, begin­ning in about 1986, and I was for­tu­nate enough to be at the right place at the right time.

He was hap­py work­ing with the peo­ple of com­put­er sci­ence, and work­ing for the Internet or com­put­ers. And this is all that I can say.

Nii Quaynor’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

I know this hon­or is not for me alone but also for the bil­lions who still do not have the ben­e­fit of the Internet. But I accept it and thank every­one on their behalf as well.

Henning Schulzrinne’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

The sec­ond phase is nobody cared. That’s a real­ly good thing. Because you can actu­al­ly do engi­neer­ing work with­out hav­ing grand ambi­tions or hav­ing lots of peo­ple, say at oth­er stan­dards orga­ni­za­tions, sud­den­ly get inter­est­ed. They did­n’t know what was hit­ting them. 

Ida Holz’s Internet Hall of Fame 2013 Induction Speech

For devel­op­ing coun­tries like ours, the Internet is a means of col­lab­o­rat­ing and access to knowl­edge all around the world alike.

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

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.
