Steve Crocker, Inventor Of The Internet

About this event

BMAV and Connie Morella Library invite all to attend this presentation on Zoom by Steve Crocker about his work as one of the inventors of the Internet.

As a student at UCLA, Crocker worked with other graduate students to put together the "Arpanet," the first piece of the Internet, and a trigger for the network era as we know it. Crocker's career has been spent in internet development and security, and was a Chair of the Board at ICANN, the non-profit that oversees the domain name system. Crocker will discuss the origins of networking and historical milestones and will explain this complex topic in a very relatable way. Learn more at the Internet Hall of Fame.
