Connections #050 – History of the Internet: Part I (Past)
Vinton G. Cerf is Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist for Google. Widely known as the “Father of the Internet,” Vint (together with his colleague, Robert Kahn) is the co-designer of the TCP/IP protocols and basic architecture of the Internet.
In this episode, Vint discusses the precursors, origins and early days of the Internet – including the efforts he and his colleagues put into ensuring the widespread dissemination, acceptance & adoption of their protocols.
For anyone that’s a fan, (or even just a normal user) of the Internet – this is a rewarding glimpse ‘under the hood’ of the technologies and the remarkable man who helped invent them.

The outreach of the internet is immeasurable. Technologies are being plugged to it at a very fast pace. In education, we all are benefiting from it.
Thank you Stan!

As new listener to The Connections Show, I am impressed by this professional and effective interview with Vint Cerf. Naturally, I am look forward to later part(s), “(Present)” and “(Future)” perhaps?
Listening also to Connections #000, it seems that congratulations are in order! On that initial interview, your choice of VInt Cerf as an example (of someone to contact via LinkedIn) suggests that this interview is perhaps the completion of a goal that you set yourself at the beginning. If so, then well done indeed!
Keep up the great work!

Thanks, John As a matter of fact, Vint & I have been connected for about 18 months now, ever since the initial contact back in 2007. We’re both great Sci-Fi fans & converse regularly on the subject.
Actually, as a piece of trivia, Vint was a Special Advisor to Gene Roddenberry on the Sci-Fi TV series, ‘Earth: The Final Conflict’ – and even made a cameo appearance.

Hello Stan and Vint,
Great podcast as always. It is interesting to hear how the internet came to be and of course to hear it from none other than Vint Cerf himself. I look forward to part 2.

Stan,
I just finished listening to part 1 of your interview with Vinton Cerf. The interview was very interesting, and, as another indicator of how much the Internet has advanced over the years, I was able to post a couple “Tweets” on the interview while listening. That is another thing Mr. Cerf probably did not anticipate in those early days of the Internet.

Hi Stan
I finally caught up with the Vint Cerg interview Part 1, and about to dive into Part 2 – congratulations on this. As John said above, I also listended to your original chat with Cameron and idea of connecting with Vint on LinkedIn. You have come full circle in effect, and you deserve to be commended for putting on such a wide range of informative podcasts, helping everyone understand the power of the Internet as a force for good. I think its time to publish a CD of all of these! ;-)
Best regards,
