3. Today’s Internet Doesn’t
Provide reliable end-to-end performance
Encourage cooperation on new capabilities
Allow testing of new technologies
Support development of revolutionary applications
Today’s Internet has serious shortcomings. Some of them are performance or technically related, which limit the kinds of applications and capabilities the Internet can support. Other limitations affect the ability to innovate new capabilities that would address some of the performance and technical limitations.

14. Healthcare in the Information Age

15. What does Internet2 mean to medicine?
High bandwidth, low latency applications
Augmented Virtual Reality
Enable human interaction ‘presence’
Secure access to information and computational resources
This summer I met with several Directors of the various NIH institutes and centers. Don Lindberg of the NLM asked the most intriguing question: “What does Internet2 mean to the medical domain?”
Dig up talking points something like “high bandwidth application provide augmented virtual reality. This is vital to the future of medical applications as the trend with all industries is to enabling the “presence” of a person for interaction. This is important for researchers and educators across the country and globally.

Enigma Machine and Bombe
Armed forces have always been dependent on communications. During World War II, the German Army and Navy tried to keep their communications secret by using encryption devices called Enigma machines. These sophisticated coding devices could generate over 1 trillion different coding patterns. The Germans believed they were too sophisticated for Allied forces to break them. But in one of the best-kept secrets of the war, first the Poles, and later the British and Americans succeeded in deciphering messages. The wooden device in the foreground is a 4 rotor German Enigma machine, used for encoding. The large machine in the background is a "Bombe," used for breaking the code. Working out the details of codebreaking machines was one of the developments that fostered electronic computers.
