A look into Internet History and its Latest Development with Vint Cerf

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.
  

I believe this is a must watch material by all Internet users - especially students. Thanks Wilson for the link!

Underestimate? - Trillions more internet addresses may emerge

The foundations are now being laid out for the inevitable upgrade of the Internet towards IPV6 that may result to emergence of trillions more Internet addresses. (Truemors)

I asked Lawrence Hughes of InfoWeapons about this and he believes that trillions may be an underestimate. "Each NETWORK gets many trillions of addresses (a "/48 block" of 2**80th addresses), and there are enough "/48" allocation blocks for every human alive to get over 4000 of them."

InfoWeapons is a member of the IPv6 Forum and Lawrence is the head of the Philippines chapter. The company is also a member of the US IPv6 Consortium. They have been running a production IPV6 network for almost 3 years in Cebu.
