Last week's Economist Technology Quarterly carried a two page spread about Brewster Kahle, the Internet entrepreneur and philanthropist behind the Internet Archive / Wayback Machine. Below is a 20 minute December 2007 TED talk by Kahle. Slick it ain't (Kahle looks to be the kind of person who simply does not do slick), but the overview provided into the scale of, and processes behind, Kahle's endeavor to create a free, online collection of human knowledge makes it worth watching in full. Fittingly, one of the three copies of the Internet Archive, is in Alexandria.
