The Internet Needs a Plan B
At TED 2013 last week, Danny Hillis, an early Internet user who registered the third domain name ever (Think.com), spoke on the vulnerability of the expanding Internet.
According to Hillis, this once small and trustworthy circle, “a system essentially built on trust,” as he puts it, has expanded “way beyond its limits.” And what frightens Hillis the most about the growth and vulnerability of the Internet is that so many things we don’t even imagine as being connected to the Internet actually are.
“it’s very hard to get people to focus on Plan B, when Plan A is working so well.”
