In today’s world, with thousands of new devices connecting to the Internet every minute, the power of an Internet of opportunities is undeniable. Even amidst ongoing international political and social challenges, people and communities worldwide rely on the Internet’s transformative capabilities to connect with each other and learn from one another. While the digital landscape expands, so does the need for greater security and data privacy to help ensure a safe and sustainable connected future for all.
Now in its 11th year, the Internet Hall of Fame is proud to welcome nine new inductees whose work has laid the foundations for the Internet we know and use today.
