Internet Civilization: A New Frontier for Humankind
Description"The Internet is more than just a network of computers. It is a civilization, born from the basic sciences of mathematics and physics, and nurtured by human ingenuity.
For the first time in history, the Internet has created a truly global single space. This has profound implications for our society, our economy, and our way of life.
One of the most striking features of Internet Civilization is its speed. The speed of light provides a latency of just 133 milliseconds between any two points on the planet. This has enabled new forms of communication and collaboration that were unimaginable just a few decades ago.
For example, Internet Civilization has made it possible for people to play games with each other in real-time, even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made it possible for doctors to perform surgery on patients remotely.
In addition to its speed, Internet Civilization is also characterized by its distributed computing capabilities. This means that the Internet can be used to pool the computing power of millions of devices around the world. This has enabled new applications such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
The next frontier for Internet Civilization is the Interplanetary Network (IPN). The IPN will connect Earth to other planets and moons in our solar system. This will create a truly galactic civilization, with humans living and working on multiple worlds.
The discussion of Internet Civilization at ACM SIGGRAPH will explore the challenges and opportunities of this new frontier. We will discuss how the challenges will change our society, our economy, and our way of life. We will also discuss the ethical and social implications of creating the Internet Civilization.
The discussion is on this journey as we explore the future of Internet Civilization."
