In the Beginning
Hacker Ethics
• Access to computers should be unlimited and total.
• Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative.• All information should be free.• Mistrust authority–promote decentralization.• Hackers should be judged by their hacking.• You can create art and beauty on a computer.• Computers can change your life for the better.
The Facebook Effect
What about the web?
“Many of the discussions of the future at CERN and the LHC era end with the question - Yes, but
how will we ever keep track of such a large project? This proposal provides an answer to
such questions. Firstly, it discusses the problem of information access at CERN. Then, it
introduces the idea of linked information systems, and compares them with less flexible
ways of finding information.”
“Discussions on Hypertext have sometimes tackled the problem of copyright enforcement
and data security. These are of secondary importance at CERN, where information
exchange is still more important than secrecy. Authorisation and accounting systems for
hypertext could conceivably be designed which are very sophisticated, but they are not
proposed here.”
Where do we go from here?
Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen
hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred
years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll
know tomorrow.
How do you see the Internet?
