Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
More than 40 years ago, a handful of computer scientists wrote a group of informal memos that later shaped the basic architecture of the World Wide Web. The so-called “Request for Comments” established the basic protocols by which computers exchange information — standards that were shared and improved upon over time. We talk with one of the brains behind the original “Request for Comments” about the history of the modern Internet and the collaborative effort it took to build it.
