| Lessons from a Life as Roadkill |
From a good vantage point, the developments in computing and
networking over the last generation foreshadows much of the
development of current cutting-edge activities. As this conference
indicates, it may be possible to learn from the lessons of the last
thirty years about the issues that will need to be faced in the next
phase of our networked lives. In particular, the unexpected
consequences of past invention should serve as good lessons for the
future. This talk will discuss some of the challenges, technical and
social, that have occurred in the emergence of networking over the
last thirty years and identify several key areas and issues that
appear to be bearing down on us again.
