Alan Emtage and Brad Templeton discuss their experiences fostering the early internet, Emtage having developed the world's first internet search engine and Templeton having founded the world's first dot-com. They provide perspective on the explosion of network technology over the years and the negative effects we've seen. "One of the things I regret the most about what Google did to the world was that we only really found advertising as the way to monetize activity on the internet," says Templeton. "It's driven the internet to be responsive to the wishes of advertisers more than the wishes of users…. Where your money comes from is going to control what you do."
Emtage noted the internet's loss of transparency, with no public insight into how seemingly omnipotent companies like Google operate, as well as the rise of misinformation and "the ability to manipulate large swaths of the population in ways that are fundamentally undemocratic."
