Father of the Internet: the Internet everywhere in the future

Internet

In 1994, Dr. Wenden Sove was selected as "the most fascinating 25 people" in the American People magazine. As a scientist, such a compliment surprised him. He said: "I do not think I am charming, but the internet was so charming, I was fortunate enough to glory." ”

Wenden Sove (Vinton Cerf) is a great scientist, Turing Award winner, President of the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom, Google's global vice president, but all of these titles added together, not "the father of the Internet" to honor. However, whenever someone in the "father of the Internet" commensurate with, he always seriously corrected: "The internet has a lot of dads, I was just one of them." Teide Nelson, the first to put forward the concept of ' hypertext ', and I developed the TCP/IP protocol Robert Karn, the inventor of the World Wide Web Tim Bernar Lee ...

Modesty or cunning, the key to the evolution of the internet every step behind, it is true that there are one or two smart "dad". Open their story, will find that each person's personality and the fate of so different, almost can make a movie. The same is the inventor of the TCP/IP protocol, Wenden Sove is now Google's vice president, his collaborators Robert Karn to retire, long time no thereafter, and their early participation in the development of ARPANET (the predecessor of the Internet) scientists are Frang, the World Wide Web pioneer, Tim Bernar • Lee was knighted by the Queen of England, and was named "the most important person in the 20th century" by Time magazine, and his collaborators Robert Cairio but oblivion, no one ever mentioned it. With the "hypertext" concept of the Creator, the only thing people remember is that he invented the mouse, and Teide Nelson is a lifelong Engel Bat, driving a classic car between the various universities to be a visiting scholar, so far even a professor title is not. This Luotuo genius is said to be very handsome, the father is a Hollywood director, the mother is an Oscar-winning actress, but Shan, harsh words. Bernar Li Hu's idea of the World Wide Web was directly inspired by him, but he did not like Tim and felt that he had ruined his wonderful ideas. He has lashed out at the World Wide Web and the current copyright regime, leaving behind a well-known motto: Most people are stupid, most of them malicious, God doesn't exist, everything is wrong.

From the beginning of Mark Anderson, the internet has made countless super rich legends, but its "dads" have not one so rich. The only exception was Tim Bernas Li Hu, who had selflessly abandoned the World Wide Web and opened the technology to the world, and 10 years later he was awarded the "Millennium Technology Award" by the President of Finland and 1 million euros.

Among the many Internet fathers, Wenden Sove is a very special person. He has the talent of a scientist and a businessman's eye and nerve. Many technical veterans are still nostalgic for the "Age of Innocence" of the internet, but Wenden Sove has been a staunch supporter of "internet commercialization" since the middle of the 80. In the 15 years since the launch of the TCP/IP protocol, the U.S. government-supported backbone network did not allow any commercial traffic at all, and was the first to get permission to access the first commercial e-mail system on the Internet.

In any public setting, Wenden Sove is almost always a tailored suit, tie, and gentle, like the old gentleman, although he went to talk about the future of the Internet. He is an incurable techno-optimist. This is probably why Google hired him as the "Chief Internet Evangelist", and he firmly believes that the Internet revolution will eventually lead to good results. For more than 30 years, he has been doing one thing, is to build more networks, like a tireless giant spider. "There are now 1 billion people connected to the Internet, but there are more than 5.5 billion people on the planet who have no Internet access, I hope they do." Why did Google give me the title of ' Preacher '? Because they want me to encourage more people to contact and build networks. "In addition, he hopes that more and more devices will be connected to the network, from mobile phones, mobile devices to household appliances." In his prophecy, the future of the Internet is bound to be ubiquitous, so he is the most determined IPV6, according to conservative estimates, IPV6 the actual allocation of address, the entire earth per square metre area can be allocated more than 1000 addresses.

Wenden Sove is a science fiction fan who ran through walk-on in the sci-fi drama "Earth: The last Clash." In fact, he spent his life creating and predicting a sci-fi future in which the most sci-fi attempt was the "Interstellar Internet" program with NASA, which tried to link all the cosmic detectors to the station's communications equipment through a standard protocol. The project has been going on for nearly 10 years.

Berners-Lee is also active in the Internet, but his thinking about the Internet is different from Wenden Sove. He was always a naïve and persistent scientist. His dream is for computers all over the world to communicate with the language he designed, formerly HTML, and now he wants to add semantic understanding to the language, the next generation of semantic Internet. Berners-Lee, an Englishman and a mathematician, has been involved in the development of the world's first commercial computer, and he graduated from the Department of Physics at Oxford University. He could have been a billionaire, but at every critical juncture, he always chose a non-commercial path. An American journalist asked him why he didn't get rich because of the world Wide Web, and he was furious that he insulted the dignity of a scientist. He set up a World Wide Web association, as diligent as an old hen to maintain the freedom and openness of the World Wide Web.
