Ask Dr. Vinton Cerf About the Internet

Posted by Roblimo on Monday September 30, 2002 @04:00AM from the more-honorary-degrees-than-some-people-have-socks dept.

If anyone can claim to have "invented the Internet," (or at least to have co-invented it) it's Vint Cerf, who never makes this claim himself. But he's certainly had a hand in shaping most of what we call "the Internet" today, and is now working on taking the Internet or something like it to Mars and other planets. A Google Search for "Vint Cerf" brings up thousands of responses, so you should have no trouble coming up with a unique, interesting question for him. (As is usual with Slashdot interviews, we'll send 10 of the top-moderated questions to Dr. Cerf about 24 hours after this post, and publish his answers shortly after he gets them back to us.)

"Hindsight being 20/20. What is the #1 thing you would change about the internet if you could go back to the early days?"

Grr he better not say "I wish that it didn't expose porn to minors". My dad hid his stash a litte too well.

Mr. Cerf will have a hard time answering that due to the fact that Bernie has no sexual organs. Parasites like him replicate via cell division.
