American internet pioneer and co-designer of TCP/IP protocol, one of the founding architectures of the Internet.
The beauty of TCP/IP is that it works regardless of the underlying technology. That's what made it scalable
When we designed TCP/IP, we weren't thinking about commerce, social networks, or entertainment. The applications surprised us all
I had no idea that the protocols we were designing would become the backbone of global communication
The Internet was designed to be resilient and flexible, allowing information to flow freely across any path
We didn't anticipate all the wonderful and terrible things that would happen. That's taught us about responsibility
My passion is connecting the next 3.5 billion people who don't yet have access to the Internet. That's the challenge ahead
The real issue with the Internet is ensuring it remains open and free. That's what matters most
