Future of the Internet
I spent the day in Washington, DC participating in a public broadcast show about the future of the Internet organized by Bobby Austin at the University of DC. It was an interesting group. Other then myself there was Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn who are considered the fathers of the Internet. I guess my contribution was my vision for what the Internet should look like moving forward.
In the interview I tried to stress that we should not look to the Internet as a solution in and of its self, the Internet is only a tool. Instead we need to focus on what we want the Internet to be and try to make it happen. The future of the Internet is what we want it to be. I think one comment I made sums up my feelings:
The Internet made my success possible, but I made it happen.
The university has an interest in contributing to my American voices project. So I think I will try and get the ball rolling on that shortly.
