The Internet at 50: Pioneers,Engineers,and Influencers on Its Past and Future

Abstract

When the original founders of the Internet look back over the first 50 years of its existence, what do they think? What are their hopes and fears? How do their perspectives compare with those of investors, academics, entrepreneurs, and influencers? Charles Corbett, Uday Karmarkar, and Christopher Tang offer their own reflections along with a lively summary of a one day event held at UCLA to celebrate the 50th birthday of the Internet.
