Prepareu-vos que co-mencem! Però primer un moment per l'efemèride que ens porta en David. Fins en quin any anem avui? 📻 Efeméride tecnológica – 14 de mayo de 1974 Hoy viajamos al 14 de mayo de 1974, cuando dos ingenieros visionarios, Vinton Cerf y Robert Kahn, presentaron un documento técnico que cambiaría la historia: “A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication”. En él describían el TCP, un protocolo diseñado para permitir la comunicación entre distintas redes de ordenadores.

[En partenariat avec Frogans] Et si une alternative au World Wide Web était possible ? C'est le pari audacieux d'Alexis Tamas et de sa start-up F2R2, qui ont développé Frogans, une technologie innovante permettant de publier des contenus et services en ligne d'une manière totalement repensée. Dans cet épisode de Monde Numérique, il nous explique comment cette approche pourrait transformer notre manière d'interagir sur Internet.Contrairement aux sites web traditionnels, Frogans propose un nouvel espace de communication où les pages, appelées "slides", ne sont plus limitées à l'affichage dans des fenêtres de navigateur. Cette technologie, internationale par nature, vise à créer une expérience utilisateur plus intuitive et plus fluide, indépendante des systèmes d'exploitation et des navigateurs classiques. Son architecture repose sur un protocole distinct du web et se veut totalement respectueuse de la vie privée en intégrant un contrôle utilisateur plus granulaire sur le traçage des données.L'ambition de Frogans n'est pas de remplacer le web, mais d'y apporter une alternative complémentaire, plus accessible et plus sécurisée. Une approche qui n'a pas manqué d'attirer l'attention des pionniers d'Internet, notamment Vinton Cerf, l'un des "pères" du réseau mondial, qui a reconnu l'originalité du projet.Derrière Frogans, il y a également une volonté de garantir la pérennité de la technologie. Pour cela, l'OP3FT, une organisation de standardisation indépendante, a été créée afin de protéger et promouvoir cette innovation sur le long terme. Cette structure, basée en France et dotée d'antennes internationales, assure que Frogans restera un standard ouvert, accessible à tous, et à l'abri des rachats par les géants du numérique.Avec plus de vingt ans de recherche et développement, Frogans pourrait bien ouvrir une nouvelle page de l'histoire d'Internet. Une interview à découvrir pour mieux comprendre les enjeux et les perspectives de cette innovation.Mots-clés : Frogans, F2R2, Internet, web, publication en ligne, technologie, protocoles Internet, respect de la vie privée, standardisation, innovation digitale-----------

This is the untold history of how the internet almost didn't happen. It's an ode to fathers and daughters. And it's a tale about the origins of the man-computer symbiosis that's still profoundly relevant to our society today. Host Christine Haughney Dare-Bryan, an editor-at-large at Inc., is a James Beard Award-winning journalist who has worked for NBC News as well as three of the nation's largest newspapers, and who created the Emmy-nominated Netflix series Rotten. Dare-Bryan's connection to the story is deeply personal—her father, Joseph Haughney, was one of the internet's founding fathers. By looking to the past, Computer Freaks dives into modern debates: Could we have prevented online harm from the start? What is the balance between free speech and online content moderation? How much human work should be delegated to technology and A.I.? And what direction should this growing labyrinthine network of computers take? Computer Freaks tells the dramatic, untold history of the internet straight from the mouths of its pioneering inventors: Len Kleinrock, Robert Kahn, Charley Kline, Steve Crocker, Vinton Cerf, and Bob Metcalfe, among many others. Exclusive interviews uncover hidden stories found nowhere else about the Arpanet, online harm, hacking, authentication, cybersecurity, Ethernet, TCP IP, packet switching, queuing theory, and the early contributions of women in tech.

To kick-off this mini-series on the Future of Technology, we will hear from Vint Cerf, Vice President & Chief Internet Evangelist at GOOGLE, and widely known as one of the "Fathers of the Internet," and Gerard de Graaf, Senior EU Envoy for Digital and Head of the new EU Office in San Francisco. They will walk us through the challenges and opportunities that Artificial Intelligence presents, and what the future may hold for this technology.Vinton G. Cerf, Vice President & Chief Internet Evangelist, GOOGLEIn this role, he is responsible for identifying new enabling technologies to support the development of advanced, Internet-based products and services from Google. He is also an active public face for Google in the Internet world. Widely known as one of the “Fathers of the Internet,” Cerf is the co-designer of the TCP/IP protocols and the architecture of the Internet. In December 1997, President Clinton presented the U.S. National Medal of Technology to Cerf and his colleague, Robert E. Kahn, for founding and developing the Internet. Kahn and Cerf were named the recipients of the ACM Alan M. Turing award in 2004 for their work on the Internet protocols. In November 2005, President George Bush awarded Cerf and Kahn the Presidential Medal of Freedom for their work. The medal is the highest civilian award given by the United States to its citizens. In April 2008, Cerf and Kahn received the prestigious Japan Prize.Cerf is a recipient of numerous awards and commendations in connection with his work on the Internet.

Hoy vamos con unas cuantas efemérides variadas y creo que bastante interesantes para recordar.

With the convergence of the Metaverse, Web 3.0 and the blockchain, it's hard to imagine just how far we have come over the last century. We can't fully appreciate this giant leap forward, without examining the origins of the internet. Who better to help us understand this journey and how we got where we are today than Dr. Vinton Cerf. Dr. Cerf, widely considered “One of the Fathers of the Internet,” helped to develop the TCP/IP protocol. Since 2005, Dr. Cerf has served as Google's vice president and chief Internet evangelist. He identifies new technologies to support the development of advanced, Internet-based products and services. Dr. Cerf is the former Senior Vice President of Technology Strategy for MCI. There, he guided MCI's technical strategy. In December 1997, President Clinton presented the U.S. National Medal of Technology to Cerf and his colleague, Robert E. Kahn, for founding and developing the Internet. In 2004, Drs. Kahn and Cerf won the Alan M. Turing Award for their work on the Internet protocols. The Turing award is sometimes called the “Nobel Prize of Computer Science.” In November 2005, President George Bush awarded Cerf and Kahn the Presidential Medal of Freedom for their work. The medal is the highest civilian award given by the United States to its citizens. In April 2008, Cerf and Kahn received the prestigious Japan Prize. Prior to rejoining MCI in 1994, Cerf was vice president of the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI). As vice president of MCI Digital Information Services from 1982 to 1986, he led the engineering of MCI Mail, the first commercial email service, to be connected to the Internet. During his tenure from 1976 to 1982 with the U.S. Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Cerf played a key role leading the development of Internet and Internet-related packet data and security technologies.

Vinton Cerf, famous across the globe as a "father of the internet," was a developer of TCP/IP, which is a set of important communication protocols used in the Internet and similar computer networks. His work has allowed for data to be sent to the intended destination in computer networks around the world, which is also what allowed you to access this website and listen to our podcast! But what not as many people know about Mr. Cerf is that he, along with his wife, has a hearing impairment that has affected him from childhood. Today, we're going to examine the structures and functions of the nervous system that allow us to hear and process auditory information. Also, be sure to tune in to listen to our interview with Mr. Cerf about his life experiences and work to make technology more accessible for disabled communities. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/learnon/message

We seem to have collectively accepted that we’re going to keep playing this rigged game of data harvesting because the playing of the game itself placates us, giving us just enough of that beautiful dopamine-serotonin-oxytocin combo to get us to keep pulling the lever on the slot machine.  There are thousands of entities that have thousands of pieces of data about you right now, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. These same entities are selling that information to advertisers, political campaigns, and government agencies so that they can sell you what they want, make you believe what they want, or make you do what they want.  So, being the reasonable people that we all are, don’t we want to know the truth about this game? The truth that defines our modern world?    Featured guests this episode: Judy Estrin is an Internet pioneer, entrepreneur, business executive, and author in the United States. Estrin worked with Vinton Cerf on the Transmission Control Protocol project at Stanford University in the 1970s, often looked at as the project that our modern e-mail emerged from. Estrin is a serial entrepreneur who co-founded eight technology companies. She was the chief technology officer of Cisco Systems from 1998 to 2000. Estrin served on the boards of FedEx Corporation (1989-2010), Rockwell Automation (1994-1998), Sun Microsystems (1995-2003), as well as the being the first woman to serve on the board of Walt Disney Company, where she served for fifteen years (1998-2014). She served on the advisory boards of Stanford University School of Engineering and the Bio-X interdisciplinary program, and is a member of the University of California President’s Science and Innovation Advisory Board. Tim Shea is the founder and CEO of Latticework Insights.  Eric Sapp has managed successful democracy-building and advocacy campaigns on issues ranging from international peacekeeping, human rights, counterterrorism, and foreign assistance to domestic campaigns for pollution control, hunger alleviation, supporting veterans, and protecting victims of terrorism.   Through these efforts, his team developed one of the largest voter response databases and most sophisticated digital advertising platforms in the country, which they transformed into a Public Benefit Corporation, Public Democracy. Sarah Miller is Executive Director of the American Economic Liberties Project and formerly the Deputy Director of the Open Markets Institute. Eric Yang is the Founder and Executive Director at Junto. Junto is a new breed of social media founded in the spirit of authenticity, with the goal of rebalancing our relationship with technology and inspiring agency, privacy, and free expression

Think about where we were technologically just 10 years ago, when everybody was really excited about our utopian tech-driven future. Netflix used to mail you DVDs, now they spend $15 billion a year feeding their content algorithms. Google used to cutely offer you the “i’m feeling lucky” option, now they predict your searches before you finish typing them. Snapchat and Instagram didn’t exist yet, and Facebook was still a place where you could find someone under 45. With modern smartphones, we have more technology in our pocket than what NASA had to send humans to the moon. We have more information at the tip of our fingers than all the libraries of the ancient world. We can make a few taps and gestures and food or drugs or people show up to where we are.  But think about it. To the ancient world, we’d seem like a society of depressed wizards. This week I speak again to Judy Estrin, Internet pioneer and serial entrepreneur to better understand how this problem has metastasized. Then, I sit down with K Krasnow Waterman, who was the Chief Information Officer of the first post-9/11 data analytics facility established by the White House and, next, led the reorganization of the FBI's intelligence operations. K helped me form a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the problems we face.  Have questions? Let us know on Instagram or Twitter!   Featured guests this episode: Judy Estrin is an Internet pioneer, entrepreneur, business executive, and author in the United States.

K Krasnow Waterman Early in her career, K was on the design team for a new IBM outsourced services and storage business; an officer of Morgan Guaranty Trust managing data centers and special technical projects; she then became a trial attorney and in-house legal advisor. K returned to her technology roots when she became inception CIO of the first post-9/11 task force created by President Bush, served as the interim chief operations executive for the reorganization of FBI Intelligence infrastructure, and represented the Department of Homeland Security in high level negotiations to set the requirements for interoperability of federal data systems.  More recently, she served as Global Head of Anti-Money Laundering Infrastructure at Citigroup.

Before Big Tech was the bad guy, we all had dreams of a digital utopia brought about by the democratizing power of the Internet. What happened? I spoke to Judy Estrin about her decades of experience as an innovator in Silicon Valley, and what she thinks might have happened to lead us astray. Then, I sat down with Andrew Keen, one of the earliest Internet naysayers, to understand why he saw (and was willing to call out) such a big potential problem and when others did not.     Featured guests this episode: Judy Estrin is an Internet pioneer, entrepreneur, business executive, and author in the United States.

In his book The Internet Is Not the Answer, Keen presents the history of the internet and its impact on psychology, economy, and society. He argues that the more the internet develops, the more detrimental it is to those who use it. Keen writes: “It is more like a negative feedback loop, a digital vicious cycle in which it is us, the Web’s users, who are its victims rather than beneficiaries.” Keen goes on to argue that the internet has allowed for the emergence of “new, leviathan-like monopolists like Apple, Google, and Amazon,” impeding economic competition and economic justice between the rich and poor.

Today we're going to look at what it really means to be a standard on the Internet and the IETF, the governing body that sets those standards.  When you open a web browser and visit a page on the Internet, there are rules that govern how that page is interpreted. When traffic sent from your computer over the Internet gets broken into packets and encapsulated, other brands of devices can interpret the traffic and react, provided that the device is compliant in how it handles the protocol being used. Those rules are set in what are known as RFCs. It's a wild concept. You write rules down and then everyone follows them. Well, in theory. It doesn't always work out that way but by and large the industry that sprang up around the Internet has been pretty good at following the guidelines defined in RFCs.  The Requests for Comments gives the Internet industry an opportunity to collaborate in a non-competitive environment. Us engineers often compete on engineering topics like what's more efficient or stable and so we're just as likely to disagree with people at your own organization as we are to disagree with people at another company. But if we can all meet and hash out our differences, we're able to get emerging or maturing technology standards defined in great detail, leaving as small a room for error in implementing the tech as possible. This standardization process can be lengthy and slows down innovation, but it ends up creating more innovation and adoption once processes and technologies become standardized.  The concept of standardizing advancements in technologies is nothing new. Alexander Graham Bell saw this when he started The American Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1884 to help standardize the new electrical inventions coming out of Bell labs and others. That would merge with the Institute of Radio Engineers in 1963 and now boasts half a million members spread throughout nearly every company in the world. And the International Organization for Standardization was founded in 1947. It was as a merger of sorts between the International Federation of the National Standardizing Associations, which had been founded in 1928 and the newly formed United Nations Standards Coordinating Committee. Based in Geneva, they've now set over 20,000 standards across a number of industries.   I'll over-simplify this next piece and revisit it in a dedicated episode. The Internet began life as a number of US government funded research projects inspired by JCR Licklider around 1962, out of ARPAs Information Processing Techniques Office, or IPTO. The packet switching network would evolve into ARPANET based on a number of projects he and his successor Bob Taylor at IPTO would fund straight out of the pentagon. It took a few years, but eventually they brought in Larry Roberts, and by late 1968 they'd awarded an RFQ to a company called Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN) to build Interface Message Processors, or IMPs, to connect a number of sites and route traffic. The first one went online at UCLA in 1969 with additional sites coming on frequently over the next few years.    Given that UCLA was the first site to come online, Steve Crocker started organizing notes about protocols in what they called RFCs, or Request for Comments. That series of notes would then be managed by Jon Postel until his death 28 years later.    They were also funding a number of projects to build tools to enable the sharing of data, like file sharing and by 1971 we also had email. Bob Kahn was brought in, in 1972, and he would team up with Vinton Cerf from Stanford who came up with encapsulation and so they would define TCP/IP. By 1976, ARPA became DARPA and by 1982, TCP/IP became the standard for the US DOD and in 1983, ARPANET moved over to TCP/IP.  NSFNet would be launched by the National Science Foundation in 1986.   And so it was in 1986 when The Internet Engineering Task Force, or IETF, was formed to do something similar to what the IEEE and ISO had done before them. By now, the inventors, coders, engineers, computer scientists, and thinkers had seen other standards organizations - they were able to take much of what worked and what didn't, and they were able to start defining standards.    They wanted an open architecture. The first meeting was attended by 21 researchers who were all funded by the US government. By the fourth meeting later that year they were inviting people from outside the hollowed halls of the research community. And it grew, with 4 meetings a year that continue on to today, open to anyone.   Because of the rigor practiced by Postel and early Internet pioneers, you can still read those notes from the working groups and RFCs from the 60s, 70s, and on. The RFCs were funded by DARPA grants until 1998 and then moved to the Internet Society, who runs the IETF and the RFCs are discussed and sometimes ratified at those IETF meetings. You can dig into those RFCs and find the origins and specs for NTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, TCP/IP, DNS, BGP, CardDAV and pretty much anything you can think of that's become an Internet Standard. A lot of companies claim to the “the” standard in something. And if they wrote the RFC, I might agree with them.    At those first dozen IETF meetings, we got up to about 120 people showing up. It grew with the advancements in routing, application protocols, other networks, file standards, peaking in Y2K with  2,810 attendees. Now, it averages around 1,200. It's also now split into a number of working groups with steering committees, While the IETF was initially funded by the US government, it's now funded by the Public Interest Registry, or PIR, which was sold to Ethos Capital in November of 2019.    Here's the thing about the Internet Society and the IETF. They're mostly researchers. They have stayed true to the mission since they took over from Pentagon, a de-centralized Internet. The IETF is full of super-smart people who are always trying to be independent and non-partisan. That independence and non-partisanship is the true Internet, the reason that we can type www.google.com and have a page load, and work, no matter the browser. The reason mail can flow if you know an email address. The reason the Internet continues to grow and prosper and for better or worse, take over our lives. The RFCs they maintain, the standards they set, and everything else they do is not easy work. They iterate and often don't get credit individually for their work other than a first initial and a last name as the authors of papers.  And so thank you to the IETF and the men and women who put themselves out there through the lens of the standards they write. Without you, none of this would work nearly as well as it all does. And thank you, listeners, for tuning in for this episode of the History of Computing Podcast. We are so lucky to have you.

Vint Cerf, VP & Chief Internet Evangelist, Google & Co-Father of the Internet. He was presented the US National Medal of Technology by President Bill Clinton & the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George Bush and co-founded the Internet Society

Meet Hans Lombardo, serial entrepreneur and Technology journalist with a focus on China and Hong Kong. Hans has seen the birth of various industries including the Internet, Cloud computing, Big Data and now the Blockchain. Hans co-founded Chain of Things, a Hong Kong-based startup integrating blockchain and IoT devices. He also built a data collection and analytics research firm focused on mainland Chinese high-technology industries which he eventually sold. As a technology journalist in the late 1990's, he interviewed Jack Ma, Jerry Yang, Vinton Cerf and Richard Li Tzar Kai.  Blockpass is Han's latest project and it incorporates the "internet of everything" and a blockchain based identity protocol. The magic of Cloud Computing allowed us to access data anywhere, so why can't we do that with things like IDs or passports? Blockpass aims to use technology to evolve this situation by creating a "Passport for a connected world". This means your ID shouldn't be locked down to the whim of a piece of paper, with this new digital identity management system, anyone with a smartphone can download an app and have their identity managed via the Blockchain in the Cloud. In fact, identities can even be assigned to other devices or objects, creating a truly connected world. After listening to this episode you will learn: How Hans got started and why he focused on Asia What Has has been up to since we last spoke How Hans it evolving Digital Identity Management What Blockpass is and how it works What Hans would change about the ecosystem today For show notes and more please visit: www.coinstructive.com/lab-radio/

El Consejo de Derechos Humanos de Naciones Unidas aprobó el pasado mes de junio una Resolución no vinculante condenando a los países que bloqueen el acceso a internet de sus ciudadanos. A pesar de las buenas intenciones de Naciones Unidas y la innegable importancia del acceso de internet para cualquier persona, parece que calificarlo como derecho humano es un ejemplo de la llamada inflación de los derechos humanos. Existen iniciativas como internet.org impulsada por Mark Zuckerberg que intentan solucionar problemas de accesibilidad a internet en gran parte del planeta. Esta noble iniciativa parece que no es suficiente para garantizar un impulso económico y social en países con gobiernos autoritarios, especialmente en África. Uno de los padres de internet Vinton Cerf expresó en un artículo en el New York Times su opinión acerca de que el acceso a internet no debería considerarse como un derecho humano, sino enmarcarlo en los derechos civiles. En España también somos especialistas en usar buenas palabras pero practicar con pocos ejemplos prácticos, que garanticen un acceso mínimo universal a la red.
