Entrevue avec Vinton Cerf, l'un des pères fondateurs de l'Internet sur le magazine &#34;Ubiquity&#34; de l'ACM.Extraits choisis : - Si vous deviez expliquer à des étudiants ce que vous avez inventé : &#34;what we did was to devise a design and then the specifics of how to get a number ofdisparate package switch networks to intercommunicate in such a waythat they looked like they were all one gigantic uniform system. And that's what we call the Internet today.&#34;A part cela, peu de choses dans cette entrevue, exception faite decette incise dans laquelle V. Cerf revient sur la notion de &#34;présence&#34;comme étant l'avenir des télécommunications : &#34;The notion of presence simply says, &#34;Hi. I am available in thefollowing media to the following people.&#34; And, of course, depending onwho the people are you may have different willingness to be availablein different modalities.&#34;V. Cerf s'exprime aussi sur la marchandisation d'Internet, indiquant : &#34;In some sense, yes, I suppose you could say that it was a lot nicerwhen we were a more homogeneous community and all we cared about wasresearch. On the other hand, I was a very strong supporter ofcommercializing the Internet system, as far back as 1988, because inthe absence of doing that it wouldn't spread very far, and I feltstrongly that it was important for Internet to be more widelyaccessible. For that to happen it had to be self-supporting, and thatmeant commercially supportable&#34;.OE
