Vint Cerf's speech:
- Great to see a young crowd gather

Q&A:
- How to deal with the network effect? E.g., how to get people to leave Facebook for another platform once everyone is on Facebook?
- Back in the days, some companies had their own network. These networks could not connect to each other. Then TCP/IP came along and once a few networks switched, the rest would follow. The same happened with email. There were several email providers, but people could not send email between providers. Once a few were linked to SMTP (and a standard for headers slipped in) the providers could send email to each other and the other providers followed soon.
