Future Human

When Vint Cerf talks, people listen. Whether it’s because he had a hand in creating the first commercial email system or co-developed the TCP/IP protocol - over which all Internet traffic flows – Cerf is considered one of the ‘Fathers of the Internet’. On this episode, Cerf, who now serves as Google’s Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist, gives us the scoop on his recent Shannon Luminary Lecture, in which he issues a rare and resonant call for how to make our future of connected devices – dubbed ‘The Internet of Things’ – more humane.     Future Human is a presentation of Nokia Bell Labs, produced by audiation.fm.
