Aram Sinnreich: The Next Generation Internet

May 17, 2011 by

Aram Sinnreich envisions a new internet that uses mesh networking to produce a stable, ad hoc, global wireless network in which each user is a router, server and client combined, and in which no single state or organisation can effectively censor or surveil the population on a broad scale.

ABOUT TEDx

TEDx was created in the spirit of TED’s mission, ‘ideas worth spreading’. The programme is designed to give communities, organisations and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at the local level.

At TEDx events, a screening of TEDTalks videos or a combination of live presenters and TEDTalks videos sparks deep conversation and connections. These talks are fully planned and co-ordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. Here at PLO.com I repost them for your convenience. All videos found in this section have previously appeared in the Major MindStylers section on the frontpage of my website. Enjoy.
