The Era of Guerilla Infrastructure

• Guerilla vs. Commercial Infrastructure– Bottom Up– Completely Decentralized– Self-Assembling– Use at Your Own Risk– Paves the Way for Commercial Deployment

• Examples– NSFnetInternet– NCSA MosaicWeb– NapsterPeer-to-Peer Storage– SETI@homePeer-to-Peer Computing– IEEE 802.11Broadband Wireless Internet

Broadband Wireless Internet is Here Today

• Create Wireless Internet “Watering Holes”– Ad Hoc IEEE 802.11 Domains–Real Broadband--11 mbps Going to 54 mbps–Security and Authentication can be Added

– Home, Neighborhoods, Office, Schools?–MobileStar--Admiral Clubs, Starbucks, Major

Hotels, Restaurants, …–UCSD—Key Campus Buildings, Dorms, Coffee

How Will You Know if The Kids Are on the Internet?

It connects to the audio piece and works like a tiny monitor that projects an image through the really cool bug-eye monocle into my eye. It has lots of ‘serious’ applications, but my favorite is to watch ‘Buffy’.

My mom has already realized that when the video is on, the lenses become less transparent. That way she knows if I’m really paying attention to her or

reading my email. She’s caught on quickly. http://wearables.www.media.mit.edu/

Multiplayer Computer Games Form Interactive Fantasy Worlds

• Persistent Evolving Worlds– Players Build Cybertowns

• 3D Multiplayer Worlds– "EverQuest The online, real-time fantasy world lets

players assume the roles of warriors and wizards for days on end... As the decade closed, this was the nearest you could get to being on a Star Trek holodeck."
