Often called the “father of the Internet,” Dr. Vinton Cerf has seen the development of the net from the inside - from his work on developing the TCP/IP protocol to helping NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory develop an Interplanetary Internet. He speaks with EDUCAUSE Now about the new Obama administration, the benefits of IPv6, and how our information technology economy will be affected and possibly even benefit from the current recession.
