Vint Cerf is a living legend and evangelist for Google.
Briefly comment on his speech based on your readings in this Unit
After reading his biography, his nickname of a “living legend” is right on the money; Cerf has accomplished so much in benefit of the telecommunication and internet fields that is really hard to keep track. While reading his speech, there is one thing that he says that I could no agree more “the internet has evolved and adapted new transmission technology”.
Thanks to Vint Cerf’s creative mind and contributions to the internet development we have been able to connect computers and networks at all different levels to exchange information either locally, around the globe and even out of the globe in benefit of all humans.

    Most people don’t know what the internet really is. In his book Tubes: a journey to the center on the internet, Andrew Blum goes all around the world to finally put an answer to the question. Blum acknowledges how we are becoming a more internet dependent society, and questions why the world inside the screen seemed to have no physical reality.

Calculative thought is the detached, rational type of thinking responsible for helping one solve an engineering problem or determine…
