"Father of the Internet" Vint Cerf offers his predictions on the future of cloud computing, stressing the importance of interconnecting disparate clouds into a single network. "We're at the same point now in 2010 with Intercloud as we were in '73 with Internet," says Cerf.

Vint Cerf, vice president and chief Internet evangelist at Google, is the person most often called "the father of the Internet." His contributions have been recognized repeatedly, with honorary degrees and awards that include the National Medal of Technology, the Turing Award, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The Churchill Club catches up with Cerf to hear his take on what new opportunities and services today's ever-faster Internet technologies will spawn and what may stand in their way. Cerf is interviewed by Jessica Vascellaro, tech reporter for The Wall Street Journal. - Churchill Club

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.

He looks like the Architect from the MATRIX !!!

[1RadicalOne]

So I was not the only one who noticed that.

I suppose the Architect was based of him; they do play similar roles to some degree.

I think you're right RadicalOne.

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

computer socialism?

[darthvader5300]

As a Russian officer we consider cloud computing as too dangerously interdependent to the point that anyone can throw a virtual monkey wrench into his cloud computing systems and all people dependent on his computer clouds will be knocked out from the internet for quite sometime.

[kw1ksh0t]

Hmmm, all computers could take computing power of all other computers, that could work

[LadenLily]

No, Tim Berners-Lee is the father of the World Wide Web.
