Podcast Details

Series 2 of the One Zero One podcast continues with a very interesting discussion with Nico Macdonald, Educator, Facilitator and Consultant on Innovation and Creativity.

Macdonald, Tutor at CIEE London Global Institute and Tutor/Visiting Fellow at London Southbank University, joined One Zero One host Peter Gothard to discuss the ‘Next 50 Years of the Internet’ project.

2019 was the 50th anniversary of the Internet and the 30th anniversary of the Web, with Nico believing that this presents a wonderful opportunity to raise the level of understanding and interest in the Internet, Web and Digital Technologies. By doing so, we can reflect on our achievements, the challenges we faced, and imagine where we might go next.

A group of inspired researchers, computer scientists, and telecoms engineers – lead by some of the best and the brightest thinkers and doers in US public service, academia and industry – made the first connection of what would become the Internet. The potential value to humanity – people, education, civil society, and industry – of what they imagined had been partially imagined in science fiction but their work was practically motivated while pursuing ways to better share resources and, ultimately, enhance knowledge creation.
