00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:02,639
first of all

2
00:00:02,639 --> 00:00:06,400
Thank you to the committee for inviting me. 

4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,559
On behalf of the whole family I would

5
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:11,200
like to thank the ISO for honoring my

6
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,759
late husband Rolf Nordhagen in

8
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,119
participating in the history of the internet. 

9
00:00:18,119 --> 00:00:19,840
He would have been so proud to

10
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,119
be recognized in this way. 

11
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:25,600
Being part of the community that

12
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,320
pioneered and the developing and

13
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,400
proliferation of the internet

14
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,800
was very much his life's most significant project.  

16
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,160
Very early

17
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:39,760
he unleashed the great improvement it would have 

19
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,480
on the academic exchange of knowledge

20
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:45,280
ideas and discourse. 

21
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,760
That it would ultimately connect and

22
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,879
empower people all over the globe for

23
00:00:50,879 --> 00:00:55,360
social, commercial and political purposes

24
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,320
was as astonishing to him, 

25
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,359
as it probably is the most to us. 

26
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:04,720
It's quite in character that he only days

27
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,560
before he passed away in the retirement home, 

29
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,920
posted a long message on facebook where

30
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,520
he demanded that the municipality of Oslo 

32
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,000
developed a better system for logging

33
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,080
onto the public wi-fi system. 

34
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,000
In fact, 

35
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,560
I'm quite sure he has already been

36
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,960
pestering Saint Peter 

37
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:34,240
about getting internet in the real clouds. 

39
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:37,520
He has not succeeded yet so, 

40
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,439
because then he would have been on the screen 

43
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:47,400
right here, thanking you all on Skype
