Future of the Internet--and how to stop it
vi, 342 p. : ill. ; 25 cmLibro ElectrĂłnicoOn January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone to an eager audience
crammed into San Francisco’s Moscone Center.1 A beautiful
and brilliantly engineered device, the iPhone blended three products
into one: an iPod, with the highest-quality screen Apple had ever produced;
a phone, with cleverly integrated functionality, such as voicemail
that came wrapped as separately accessible messages; and a device
to access the Internet, with a smart and elegant browser, and with
built-in map, weather, stock, and e-mail capabilities. It was a technical
and design triumph for Jobs, bringing the company into a market
with an extraordinary potential for growth, and pushing the industry
to a new level of competition in ways to connect us to each other and
to the Web.Includes bibliographical references (p. 249-328) and index

The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It
This extraordinary book explains the engine that has catapulted the Internet from backwater to ubiquity—and reveals that it is sputtering precisely because of its runaway success. With the unwitting help of its users, the generative Internet is on a path to a lockdown, ending its cycle of innovation—and facilitating unsettling new kinds of control.
IPods, iPhones, Xboxes, and TiVos represent the first wave of Internet-centered products that can’t be easily modified by anyone except their vendors or selected partners. These “tethered appliances” have already been used in remarkable but little-known ways: car GPS systems have been reconfigured at the demand of law enforcement to eavesdrop on the occupants at all times, and digital video recorders have been ordered to self-destruct thanks to a lawsuit against the manufacturer thousands of miles away. New Web 2.0 platforms like Google mash-ups and Facebook are rightly touted—but their applications can be similarly monitored and eliminated from a central source. As tethered appliances and applications eclipse the PC, the very nature of the Internet—its “generativity,” or innovative character—is at risk.
The Internet’s current trajectory is one of lost opportunity. Its salvation, Zittrain argues, lies in the hands of its millions of users. Drawing on generative technologies like Wikipedia that have so far survived their own successes, this book shows how to develop new technologies and social structures that allow users to work creatively and collaboratively, participate in solutions, and become true “netizens.” The author has made an online version of this work available under a Creative Commons
