FOSSASIA'21: Designing a Human Centric Next Generation Internet

Just as my previous FOSDEM talk, my presentation at FOSSASIA was titled “Designing a Human Centric Next Generation Internet”.

Trying to learn from the previous presentation – and having less time, and adding the pressure of a live event – I tried to focus more on a future Internet architecture.

The benefit of that approach is that it can be done as an analysis of the web’s more-or-less-achieved REST architecture and it’s successes and failures. Reading Roy Fielding’s REST Dissertation1 is certainly highly recommended!

The video starts about 8 hours and 20 minutes into the day, and the embed is set to begin just there.
