51,Squishy Amoeba-Like Objects,Darius Kazemi,3:30 PM,May 9 2019,Fuller Hall,https://csvconf.com/speakers/#darius-kazemi,2019-05-09T15:30:00,"On June 19th, 1970, a group of computer scientists who were inventing the internet referred to key pieces of its proposed design as ""squishy amoeba-like objects"".  Amoebas are porous yet have well-defined boundaries. Thinking about these creatures gives us new ways to think about networks and communities and technology.  This talk makes a case for the squishy amoeba-like object as an organizing principle for what is broadly being called ""the decentralized web"", a web outside of monolithic, monopolistic actors.",https://csvconf.com/img/speakers-2019/dkazemi.jpg
