User:Jane Kruch/Interesting from Paul Mockapetris

Interesrting information
After the watching of this video my mind has recorded some of thoughts of Paul Mockapetris. He was talking about the characteristic of the Internet. What he told is that you cannot visualize all issues. The right thing is to solve existing problems and to create the solutions that can be understandable to others. The important milestones in the development of the Internet are TCP/IP, e-mail, web, social network. As I can see the social point of view plays the huge role in way of further widening of Web.

Paul also talked about his contribution to the DNS. He said that it’s like a house and he built only the first floor – others were created by people. It was nice to hear that the most ideas about the problem solving were implemented by him without the permission. I was surprised with the fact that at the very beginning some developers thought that there should only one variant of the domains: country code or generics. That was really great the Paul decided to rake both in order to let people to experiment.

The first domain was .org. And now the words of government that no one will use .com seems to be ridiculous. According to him we will have more and more computing things from the toaster to the whole building in the future and hopefully it will be secure. And everything that will have a computer will also obtain a network interface.

There was also discussed the issue about the growth of the number of domains. But Paul thinks that it’s quite safe and people will be able to come back to the small number if they want to.
