Google Internet Summit 2009: The State of the Internet
May 5, 2009

Wireless and Sensor Technologies Session. Panelists for this session are Craig Partridge, Larry Alder, Sumit Agarwal, Kevin Fall, and Deborah Estrin.

On May 5 and 6, 2009, in Mountain View, we brought together Googlers and leaders from academia and the corporate world for a 2-day summit to discuss the state of the global Internet. The goal of the summit was to collect a wide range of knowledge to inform Google's future plans--from product development and market reach to users' expectations and our ability to keep the Internet open yet secure.

More than 30 speakers and moderators led discussions around 8 topics: Networks; Wireless and Sensor Technologies; Security; Standards; Applications; Democracy, Law, Policy and Regulation; Search and Cloud Computing; and The Future. Eric Schmidt, who offered some remarks, expressed optimism that the challenges we face with governments' walling off access to the Internet can be overcome technologically by building networks that are transparent, scalable, and open.

"Technology breakthroughs are making DNA sequencing faster and cheaper than ever. In its top ten list of 2008 scientific breakthroughs that broke through with the potential for lasting impact, Science magazine included technology that has blown the doors off genome sequencing. In Nature magazines list of the top news stories of 2008, "Personal genomics goes mainstream" came in second. With the cost of DNA sequencing plummeting, the emergence of "molecular sequencing" platforms has forever changed the field of genetics.

A new paradigm appears on the horizon. Personal genome information will be used not just for health maintenance, disease diagnosis, and treatment, but will also be the foundation for lifestyle applications from shopping for food, to buying cosmetics, to assessing ones environment and making choices about fabrics, places - even friends.

This panel of Silicon Valley players and innovators of new business models examines the dynamic business and investment opportunities as well as the risks, global competition, regulatory and legal challenges, new individual contributor roles, and leading alliances emerging from Silicon Valley and beyond.

Silicon Valley changed the world as the driving force in the development of computers and the internet. Could we play a similar role in advancing a genome-based economy?". Panelists:

•Linda Avey, Founder, 23andMe.
•David Medina, HP Chief Technologist, Worldwide Health & Life Sciences
•Karoly Nikolich., Dievini Hopp Biotech Holding, CEO of Amnestix
•Andras Pellionisz, founder, International Hologenomics Society and HolGenTech
•Dietrich Stephan, founder, Navigenics, founder of Amnestix
