Why the internet will never be successful

[Plow]

When he says 2 decades he's referring to the time in 1986 when he stopped pretty much the greatest spy threat in the history of the U.S.

edit oh nvmnd, you're talking about the article, yeah, the article is 15 years old

mah bad, thought you meant when he says something like "talking about 2 decades ago" in the vid

Um, the liberal democratic soviet spy party still exists.

What is this nonsense?

[Howard Roark]

that article is 15 years old lol

whoosh

[Seanr]

There is still time for the internet to go away.

[Demosthenes11]

haha, that first paragraph is awesome

everything is literally exactly how he describes the world wouldnt be

At first I was a little surprised when I finished reading and looked at who wrote it, but on the other hand it's not that surprising. What's most surprising is hearing him talk so decisively.


Anyway, same guy, kind of same general topic... occasionally:

He's pretty damn awesome.

The first time you do something, it's science. The second time, it's engineering.
rofl...I'm going to write that one down.


The guys should stick to physics. The part at 11min30+ was pretty damn good, but shit, he needs to stop moving that much.


And wtf at the ending.

[Stumblingdrunk]

well, it was fun while it lasted.

And now he says we need to re-engineer the internet.

We need to develop an early-warning system to monitor cyberspace, identify intrusions and locate the source of attacks with a trail of evidence that can support diplomatic, military and legal options — and we must be able to do this in milliseconds. More specifically, we need to re-engineer the Internet to make attribution, geo-location, intelligence analysis and impact assessment — who did it, from where, why and what was the result — more manageable. The technologies are already available from public and private sources and can be further developed if we have the will to build them into our systems and to work with our allies and trading partners so they will do the same.

Re-read that sentence. He’s talking about changing the internet to make everything anyone does on the net traceable and geo-located so the National Security Agency can pinpoint users and their computers for retaliation if the U.S. government doesn’t like what’s written in an e-mail, what search terms were used, what movies were downloaded. Or the tech could be useful if a computer got hijacked without your knowledge and used as part of a botnet.

But that’s not warfare. That’s espionage.

Don't fix what isn't broken.

some dumb fuck said similar stuff about telephone when it was invented

The only thing he got right:

And who'd prefer cybersex to the real thing?

I wish this guy was my 8th grade science teacher.

:D Entertaining talk. He'd be fun to have coffee with.. or extremely distracting.
