Description

Only on the "CBS This Morning" podcast, CBS News contributor and "Wired" editor in chief Nick Thompson joins co-host Tony Dokoupil to discuss the future of the internet, 50 years after its creation. In late October of 1969, a computer terminal at the University of California at Los Angeles "talked" to another machine at the Stanford Research Institute in the Bay Area. Fast forward to 2019, and the Internet has not only expanded the breadth of information we have access to, but it is also plagued by privacy concerns, misinformation and hateful rhetoric. Thompson explains why the internet is going through a midlife crisis and what software engineers could learn from civil engineers.
