The Internet is for Everyone - Vint Cerf

I came across the transcript of an interesting speech by Vint Cerf, 'the father of the Internet', on his vision & goals for the Internet. I feel the Internet is among the few wonderful inventions that has had the widest impact on the world.

Excerpt from the speech:
The Internet is for everyone - but it won't be if we are not responsible in its use and mindful of the rights of others who share its wealth. Let us dedicate ourselves to the responsible use of this new medium and to the proposition that with the freedoms Internet enables comes a commensurate responsibility to use these powerful enablers with care and consideration. For those who choose to abuse these privileges, let us dedicate ourselves to developing the necessary tools to combat the abuse and punish the abuser.
