As I begin to wind down this weblog it seems appropriate to reference this video by Vint Cerf on the history and future of the Net. I can remember participating in the early Usenet and with radio packet switching systems and with early newsgroups. The technology has certainly made things easier for current computing! ____JH_____"During a July 2009 lecture at Singularity University, Vint Cerf ('the
father of the internet' and Google Chief Internet Evangelist) gives a
comprehensive overview of the state of the internet today, and what
issues are arising as it continues to evolve. Includes discussions
about IPv6, the need for cloud computing standards, the growing Asian
prominence online, and the interplanetary internet."
