The Centripetal Network: How the Internet Holds Itself Together, and the Forces Tearing It Apart Abstract Two forces are in tension as the Internet evolves. One pushes toward interconnected common platforms; the other pulls toward fragmentation and proprietary alternatives. Their interplay drives many of the contentious issues in cyberlaw, intellectual property, and telecommunications policy, including the fight over network neutrality for broadband providers, debates over global Internet governance, and battles over copyright online. These are more than just conflicts between incumbents and innovators, or between openness and deregulation. Their roots lie in the fundamental dynamics of interconnected networks. Fortunately, there is an interdisciplinary literature on network properties, albeit one virtually unknown to legal scholars. The emerging field of network formation theory explains the pressures threatening to pull the Internet apart, and suggests responses. The Internet as we know it is surprisingly fragile. To continue the extraordinary outpouring of creativity and innovation that the Internet fosters, policy-makers must protect its composite structure against both fragmentation and excessive concentration of power.

  • Greatest Engineering Achievements of the 20Th Century
    A Century of Innovation, by George Constable and Bob Somerville http://www.greatachievements.org/ Greatest Engineering Achievements of the 20th Century Timeline 1900 Telephone transmission extends across and between major cities As telephone transmission extends across and between major cities, “loading coils” or inductors are placed along the lines to reduce distortion and attenuation or the loss of a signal’s power. Independently invented by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company’s (AT&T) George Campbell and Michael Pupin of Columbia University, the loading coils are first used commercially in New York and Boston, nearly doubling the transmission distance of open lines. Pupin is awarded the patent for the device in 1904, and AT&T pays him for its use. 1900 Kodak Brownie camera Eastman introduces the Kodak Brownie camera. Named after popular children’s book characters, it sells for $1 and uses film that sells for 15¢ a roll. For the first time, photography is inexpensive and accessible to anyone who wants to take “snapshots.” In the first year 150,000 cameras are sold, and many of the first owners are children. In the course of its long production life, the Brownie has more than 175 models; the last one is marketed as late as 1980 in England. 1900 Sanitary and Ship Canal opens in Chicago In Chicago the Main Channel of the Sanitary and Ship Canal opens, reversing the flow of the Chicago River. The 28-mile, 24-foot-deep, 160-foot-wide drainage canal, built between Chicago and the town of Lockport, Illinois, is designed to bring in water from Lake Michigan to dilute sewage dumped into the river from houses, farms, stockyards, and other industries.

  • William Le Roy Emmet 1859-1941
    NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS VOLUME XXII—ELEVENTH MEMOIR BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF WILLIAM LE ROY EMMET 1859-1941 BY WILLIS R. WHITNEY PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE AUTUMN MEETING, 1942 WILLIAM LEROY EMMET 1859-1941 BY WILLIS R. WHITNEY In attempting this biography, I am actuated by two separate motives. First; a wish to satisfy the request of the Academy, and then the sincere hope that I may do some good to young men who may be influenced by Emmet's precepts and example, in the problems of ever-bettered living. Anyone who has read Dr. Emmet's "Autobiography of an Engineer" will wonder why I do more than abstract parts of that book, where everything is plainly and forcefully written, and so interestingly condensed. There the real character is exposed. But I look at Emmet's life as more instructive to the youth, than is succinctly explained in the book. The book is more an unusual practice than a preachment, and the reader may be diverted by some oddities. So, meditation may be in order. The world's views on how best to live, are not especially tan- gible or in agreement; and Emmet had a way that proved good. People everywhere are apt to think pretty much as they are early advised to do, and they often do, without strenuous effort, about what the average does. This in itself may be an efficiency- agent for general survival. It may preserve, but it does not advance civilization. It is even questioned by modern meta- physicians, whether real advance is desirable or continuously possible, and whether we are any better off in our infinite arti- ficial complexities, than the monkeys in the palm-trees, who by merely extending their arms, get food and pleasant drink, while enjoying both in the protecting shade.

  • Social Robots and Emotion: Transcending the Boundary Between Humans and Icts
    intervalla: Vol. 1, 2013 ISSN: 2296-3413 Social Robots and Emotion: Transcending the Boundary Between Humans and ICTs Satomi Sugiyama Franklin College Switzerland Jane Vincent London School of Economics and Political Science University of Surrey Digital World Research Centre KEY WORDS: social robot, emotion, ICTs, mobile phone, body Copyright © 2013 (Sugiyama & Vincent). Licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial No Derivatives (by-nc- nd/3.0). Sugiyama & Vincent Social Robots and Emotion The notion of social robots often evokes the idea of ‘humanoid social robots’ which are “human- made autonomous entities that interact with humans in a humanlike way” (Zhao, 2006, p. 405). These humanoid social robots, and also zoomorphic social robots, are becoming a part of our everyday communicative interactions. They have been introduced to us as relational artefacts such as Tamagotchis, Furbies, and Aibos, asking the question of who we are becoming as we develop intimate and emotional relationships with machines (Picard 1997; Turkle, 2007, 2012). These relationships between humans and machines have been discussed not only in terms of intelligent machines, such as humanoid social robots incorporated into our social domains, but also in terms of the hybridization of the human body and machines (Haraway 1991; Fortunati, 2003a, 2003b; Katz, 2003; Fortunati, Katz, & Riccini, 2003). At the surface level, humanoid social robots and artificial intelligence might create an impression that the questions about the relationship between humans and technologies are still far removed from our everyday experiences and saved for the research laboratories and the world of science fiction. However, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been slowly but steadily ‘approaching’ the human body, calling for a reconsideration of the notion of social robots.
