This is a very beautiful educational video featuring Vint Cerf, father of the Internet and currently an evangelist for Google. He discussed:
- How the Internet started
- How powerful Asia can be in influencing the applications online and Internet growth
- New users of the Internet will likely experience it first through the mobile phone instead of the PC.
- Quality of the Internet (asymmetrical vs. symmetrical)
- Unsolved technology needs in the Internet infrastructure today (great opportunity for colleges to look at and explore developing)
- Technology challenges being addressed.
- The challenge with the IP address transitioning from IPV4 to IPV6.
- Prospects for IPTV
- Mobile phone and Internet technologies real time use
- Internet-enabled devices (more devices than people)
- Challenges of the Digital Age
- rethinking copyright
- preserve software that can interpret the bits (old documents/operating systems) in order to be accessible for future generations.
- Other projects (Interplanetary Internet)
- The Q&A portion was interesting as well as he answered questions like:
- Can the Internet be shutdown or put down?
- Biggest fallacies of the Internet
- Most vulnerable part of the Internet is the browser
- Is HTTP overloaded?
- Anonymous, privacy, and authentication
- Transfer of the top level domain system control from ICANN to U.N.
