This is a keynote talk I gave at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington's anual Wilmington Area Information Technology Exchange. (http://csb.uncw.edu/isom/wilmIT.htm) It goes "through a fractured fairy" tale history of the Internet focusing on the ways that the Internet and web might actually never have happenned. The talk proposes an alternate present where these innovations failed ,and then looks forward toward where we might be 20 years from now with the evolution of cloud computing. The talk features 11 short video segments including footage of Larry Smarr, Doug van Houweling, Robert Cailliau, TIm Berners-Lee, Paul Kunz, Joseph Hardin, and Jeff Bezos. While teach video was only 1-2 minutes long in this talk, there are extended versions of the videos are available on my Vimeo channel http://www.vimeo.com/drchuck

I wold love to give this talk a few more times. It was a lot of fun.
