I completely forgot about this. I was interviewed for a documentary about the internet, The People's Cloud, which has just come out. I'm in several episodes, but I start already at episode 1, at 1 minute 15. You can watch the full documentary at http://thepeoplescloud.org.
Steven, this is a highly informative series of short docs. Matt's gorgeous cinema-photography, sound design and animations transform it into an engaging watch. Many topics brought up resonate: how the global network is not one thing that can be managed, but must be managed by what in reality is only a few hundred people around the world; the sheer amount of energy needed to run the Cloud and how we are limited by access to electricity and our ability to cope with waste heat; who owns dark fibre; and perhaps my favourite topic as an Islander: submarine cables. It's great to see open conversations about the resource footprints, competitive advantages and just how big Big Data really is. And a fantastic resource for teaching - thank you for sharing.
