> As the digital age washes over traditional forms of research and teaching,

> Dramatically new possibilities are emerging and it is becoming evident that
> this evolution is creating new paradigms, for the Humanities, digital
> technologies and related sciences.

> To help us explore these changes and where they may be taking the world
> community, the Department of Classics and Humanities is honored to present
> a conversation between two leading national experts who have long served at
> the forefront of the digital world and the cutting edge of the Humanities.

> Dr. Vint Cerf is Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist for Google
> and a recipient of the National Medal of Technology, the Turing Award (the
> “Nobel prize for technology”) and the highest civilian award in the United
> States, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He is widely known as one of the

> protocols and the architecture of the Internet. He serves on the U.S.
> National Science Board, as president of the Association for Computing
> Machinery and formerly served as chairman of the board of the Internet
> Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Dr Cerf is recipient of
> over twenty honorary doctorate degrees. He holds a Bachelor of Science
> degree in Mathematics from Stanford University and Master of Science and
> Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from UCLA.

> responsible for awards totaling over 800 million dollars and established
