In this talk, we will summarize the present state of the Internet and make
some projections for its future expansion. We will explore some of the
implications of continued growth and consider the effects of
"Internet-enabling" a wide variety of appliances and devices. Security and
reliability are now paramount concerns for Internet users and we will
discuss these challenges. As the Internet becomes an increasingly essential
element in the communications infrastructure, policy issues regarding its
use and abuse will continue to surface and we will consider several of these
including taxation, intellectual property protection, censorship, fraud, and
so on. Finally we will take a look at the more distant future of the
Internet. Specifically, the Interplanetary expansion of the Internet in the
decades to come.
Host: Dr. Peter Chen, Computer Science Dept., LSU
