The internet could crash. We need a Plan B

    A video from TED 2013 (over 1,000,000 views)
    Danny Hillis (creator of Connection Machine , co-founder of the Long Now Foundation ) will try to convey to his mind his ideas worth spreading.


    In this video:
    - 1982 E-mail Directory
    - How Danny registered the world's third domain name (by the way, what were the first two?)
    - “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” - communist principles in the service of mines. US Defense
    - Why the Internet is Fragile and Vulnerable and What is “Negative Time”

    “For some reason, we are focused on protecting computers on the Internet, rather than protecting the Internet itself.
    The Internet is a rather fragile system ”

    “ Now the Internet is used not for the purpose for which it was originally conceived ”

    “ The Internet is changing so quickly that even experts do not have a complete picture of what is happening ”

    “Over the years, many of my associates have been patiently trying to convey to our minds that we need an independent backup system.”

    Underneath the top three are the first commercial domain names and a few more speeches by Danny Hills
