THE transformative technology we call the internet and the applications developed and rolled out in the last three decades have changed the way we communicate and do business. We now communicate through instant messaging or video calls. We gather for a meeting in virtual rooms. We transact for goods and services in virtual marketplaces.
We virtually travel to any destination. Looking for information, we have done away with scrounging through index cards in libraries and reading newspapers, magazines and other sources. We simply turn to the internet with the aid of powerful search engines that crawl through the internet's virtual library.It was some 30 years ago, on March 29, 1994, to be exact, that the Philippines got connected to the internet.
Anticipating the momentous day, the Foundation for Media Alternatives held a two-day conference on March 20-21, 2024, at the Ateneo de Manila University to commemorate the 30th year of internet presence in the country. Aptly called Digital Rights Conference 2024, its theme was 'Honoring the Past, Safeguarding the Future.' Honored at the event were the Philippine internet pioneers: Dr. Rudy Villarica, Dr. Bill Torres, Mr. Arnie del Rosario and Mr. Bombim Cadiz.
