Vinton Cerf, co-inventor of the TCP/IP protocol, explains changes he would make to the core design of the Internet if given a do-over.

-----

At the Gov 2.0 Summit, Vinton Cerf of Google, Twitter creator Jack Dorsey, and Facebook's Tim Sparapani discuss how their respective Internet companies provide an open platform on which independent developers can create value online through innovative products and services. - Web 2.0 Summit

Vinton G. Cerf is vice president and chief Internet evangelist for Google. In 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, sometimes called the "Nobel Prize of Computer Science," 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.

Vint Cerf serves as chairman of the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). He served as founding president of the Internet Society from 1992-1995 and in 1999 served a term as chairman of the Board.

Thanks matrix guy !

@andy18401 and if your stupid enough not to get why he said "didnt end" its because he never thought the Internet would be such a smash hit, they just experimented (this was as he says in 1977)... you nearsighted fool

[lokpest]

@andy18401 Whoha, dude! atleast learn to quote right, he says "The problem was the experiment didnt end" not "went to far"

On the authenticity bit he also says that he values anonymity so I guess that he would have made authenticity an option, not mandatory.

Asshole!

[bloodaid]

@katiemilker wtf you talkin about? Hard IP addresses?

You mean like the MAC address embedded inside every network controller or what?

[andy18401]

Tell me if you agree ---- >

he said: "The problem was the experiment went too far..."  --- meaning, it gave to

much freedom, and power to the people.

Does that not sound like this elitist is working for corporate-government interests,

not the people -- for disempowering the people from free speech.

He knows, like all of the rogue governments, they have too install a NEW internet for THEM, for which they can better control.

Please click my thumbs up if you agree -- thanks

I thought everyone was already being track through there Hard IP address which is in-bedded in their CPU, well maybe not everyone but there's very few people who know how to turn the tracking off.

We are going to be issued internet passports soon or later it's only a matter off time, what will happen is all the big players will need to check email address for authenticity, valid one's will be confirmed and invalid ones will be deleted, then everyone will only be allow 1 email for personal use.
