The Internet at 100 Dr Vint Cerf, one of the founders of the Internet, will be awarded an honorary degree by the University of St Andrews. In honour of Dr Cerf's visit to the University, the School of Computer Science will be hosting an event, culminating with a talk by Dr Cerf. The event will take place in the Medical and Biological Science (Medical School) Main Auditorium. The Internet is, of course, not 100 years old. It’s not even quite 50 years old, but the talks at this event will look at its history, its current state, and forward to what it might look like at 100. The schedule is below.
