Warner Bros. Theater at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History
The Internet is among the most powerful and influential "inventions" ever created. But where did it come from? Who were the people who first imagined it, and what are the inventive technologies that enable the Internet to exist? The evolution of the Internet continues as new innovations propel this global network of networks into seemingly impossible realities. Please join the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, the Internet Society, Internet pioneers, and digital natives for a lively conversation about the continuum of the Internet, from how it was imagined to where the Internet is taking us in the future.
This event will be webast live from the Warner Bros Theater at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
