What will happen in your session?

During my session, the audience will learn about the realistic problems behind standardisation of the Internet protocols. They’ll understand the rate at which the amount of data is growing and how the value of this data is become more and more inversely proportional to the time it takes to move around over the internet. They’ll understand how even milliseconds critically matter in certain scenarios. I will be exploring the history of web technologies that have brought us to this position, the growth in data being processed globally, and how there is a growing need for businesses to keep their users happy with realtime experiences by participating in this new realtime data economy.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

The goal of this outcome is to make the audience learn the evolution of Internet Protocols in History and where we currently stand. Also, to make them understand that the value in data is shifting in not just owning data, but in how quickly businesses can process and respond to that data, a.k.a transport this data over the internet.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

Just a projector to connect to my laptop :)
