Cerf Shares His Beliefs On NPR
Google's Vint Cerf, who is often called "the Father of the Internet," will share his belief in the importance of respecting others – both in person and online – in an essay for the National Public Radio series "This I Believe." A podcast of Cerf’s essay will be available at NPR.org on Monday.
The program is inspired by newsman Edward R. Murrow’s 1950’s radio show of the same name and features Americans from all walks of life expressing their core beliefs and values in short, personal essays, according to a press release.
In his essay, Cerf recalls feeling empathy for a limo driver in his 60s, only to discover that he was a retired CFO who took the job to meet interesting people. He also says he does not agree with claims that the Internet "isolates and dehumanizes us." "The net is simply a vehicle for people to communicate," he states.
