as it has done for me the web is essentially
Mericle role megaphone a magnifying glass
it energizes and it globalized information
it is extremely powerful extremely powerful
as we look to the next 25 years I think you'll agree with me that we all share
a tremendous responsibility when it comes to how we
utilize that our in my line of work I had the privilege of talking to some of
the most fascinating people

late
Wow all

and
thank you
thank you so
this is incredible I mean
this can you imagine starting a project
20 you know twenty-five years ago stunning project not all projects
succeed
like this from no other project has ever succeeded like this one
but its been through this incredible creativity and collaboration all over
the planet
which is being K it Showtime incredible for me
to watch it and now get the point where we can celebrate it like this it's
amazing so thank you so much
to the web is perfect for being the way it is and
which is completely inevitable like nothing else poopy
but also this time for supper been piled up just
looking back up to twenty-five years yepp why we have to do that
because looking back the people
I work with people I know looking back at least 35 years
yes here really excited about with incredible stuff
kid know that happens on the
where but also and we notice the reason for what happened
is because you individually done really cool things
randomly in different parts of the world and yes
good some is much greater
the parched you'll be what eek happens we'll
link it all together as you get this incredible phenomenon
of everybody communicating across the planet and only reason that's been able
to happen
is that when you've done it you've done it across from one part of the world
you done another part of the world you both connected your stuff
up to the internet and you haven't had to really worry
about the internet whole she just jacked in
connected put your stuff up there other people
connected looked around for something really interesting followed a whole
buncha blinks
late one night and found your stuff and real-life
that it connects made and sought to build into the links
all not having to worry about I online stuff whoever it was who said earlier
you know the web the internet though the same well good okay if
30.0 view you don't see the internet or something
different that's good because you know if internet
is mean if the web is the trucks into is the road
and is really good if you could celebrate fantastic trucks without
having to worry about the road
if you have a road which is just their does not have holes in it
allows any trucks to drive along it
doesn't suddenly felt discriminated against different trucks
if the people who designing recruit transport pant drive that has been
around
without having to worry about discrimination
of Attraction why do we need to bring it up because every now and again in 25
years a good time
we have to take some time to
worry about that just to check on and why is it important to happen now
well his for example we is good
look it now cuz we can celebrate we can celebrate then Brazil
just recently was announced until a
and conference the
brazilians have passed this law the Mako Shi via the Internet
which is incredibly great wonderful law which says you know what the Internet
has got to be free and open and neutral okay
brilliance you go to Brazil and you will have
a mutual internet back if they have a law they gonna have to make offer
regulation thing at implemented
is gonna be complicated can be complicated in Europe to in Europe with
me D Cruz
got got through a law which says
that in Europe the Wed should be neutral alright so in europe that's happened in
Brazil that happened
different countries in the world it's a different places depending on where you
come from
maybe you can go back and just and rest assured
that you pretty sure that people around you are gonna defends
everywhere in all walks of life they're going to
your part for government to go defend the mutual
internet because is just ponder the value system that their country
at other place if you're not so sure other places you wake up in the morning
Ange you worry that actually things like
the commissions which govern your communication
how actually slipping backwards and suddenly putting out provisional
rulemakings
which really look as though they happen got the message
they don't realize so in this particular country we happened to
be right now okay
the battle mashed rage a game because
the
Picasa moves have been made
bother and fifty moves have been made people have started to try to push
against it
there's not been firm values put down by
those but by the leadership we've had tremendous things
this country had people out on the streets stopping
sober stopping people okay it can happen
if everybody really protest if you specially created powerful people like
you
whom you no have to communicate true ridiculous extent
can decide to do this you can make a difference
okay so the time unfortunately
is the game now we have to but we have people we not now this is the time
to take a shotty shown people Brazil
show them what's happening in Europe dead Wooding out there about how did you
define net neutrality everybody knows what net neutrality means
non-discrimination on the Internet now's the time to take
America hold a mirror up to and say look guys
you needed Lily importantly don't just assume that the
that the companies will give it to you we realize now
that's not gonna happen they're going to challenge it life that we need
to be have positive lost positive positive regulations
in order to make it happen sorry we gotta go to that work
