required Zoom names : change your names to whatever you want to be called Please link your Zoon names to your real names in your reports You do need to speak often (we are going to have a lot of dialogue) We will use breakout rooms a lot, but those won’t be recorded unless you do it yourselves (need to be allowed) Keep your Zoom client updated! We might use latest features The recordings could be used for research on online learning Transcribed for use and anonymized Will let you know when the necessity arises Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2021 Fall — 2021-10-15 – p.2/57
and chat text will be posted at Moodle and Discord Trial automatic transcription will be posted at Discord Do you remember that last week I showed a collection URL for slides that worked only for myself, so I sent a feature request to Speaker Deck? Well, they replied: “we are working on adding the ability to make them public (each one can be toggled individually)” The moral of this story is...

— Motoko Kusanagi (from Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex) So that you can change the world in the end The first step I took was to ask, but I could implement a slides collection page by myself if that step didn’t work, because I can write code Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2021 Fall — 2021-10-15 – p.4/57

are on the unspecialization trend Which, as I get the sense from the lecture, is the main base factor for the death of money But I disagree with that trend assumption If we look at the things that we can achieve individually, then yes it does increase But does that mean we can satisfy our own needs? I wouldn’t say so, human needs keep evolving as well What would be the counterargument for the perpetually evolving human needs? ⇒ Do our needs evolve without changes to our bodies? Desire, maybe, but desires are constructed by our society, and we will have a different society Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2021 Fall — 2021-10-15 – p.9/57
take advantage of that consumer mentality ⇒ I wonder if that’s true . . . Director Tomino (GUNDAM) said, “They call them innovations, but they’ve just expanded consumption” Consumers don’t even know if they need it or not when they see a new invention, so the statement has a point I think the consumer society is involved in the commercialization of innovations that were born somewhere else Innovation is the expansion of human knowledge = research output If the structure of the monetary economy generates innovation, why not expose researchers to competition for money? (Japan did it actually, and see what happened) However, where innovation actually occurs is in an environment where there is no need to worry about money (Ask Nobel Prize winners) Like, it’s been known that money can make depression (feeling) go away Is money cause or cure of depression? If lack of money is the cause of depression, then were all humans depressed before the advent of money?

base Put everything in a USB flash drive, put everything on the web “Put anything on it” is the whole idea of USB (Universal Serial Bus) to begin with Do you know what bus is? Improvement of transmission quality → No degradation of information Degradation occurs during sampling and quantization, but does not occur after that Concealment or proof of communication → Encryption or digital signature Public key cryptography (we will have a chance to take a deeper look at it in later class) More efficient transmission → Packet communication, compression One single physical communication medium shared by multiple uses at the same time Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2021 Fall — 2021-10-15 – p.13/57

Keio Univ. Two among the best private universities in Japan These two universities are known for their rivalry and matches in baseball and other sports known as “ ” (first characters of Waseda, Keio and match), although Keio students would often call it “ ” ;) For undergraduates, classes may have to be cancelled for students to go cheer on the baseball team Story The head of the Keio cheerleading squad sends a letter of challenge in the form of a traditional scroll to the head of Waseda’s cheerleading squad It is a very long scroll that has to be untied from Keio’s Mita campus, slipped into Mita Station on the Mita Line, and then slipped out from Waseda Station on the Tozai Line to reach the Waseda campus so that the head of Waseda’s cheerleading squad can read it This is a metaphor of stream communication over the Internet as we do it via Zoom at the class Two ways TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) . . . Don’t miss reading every word of it (e.g. browsing a web page) UDP (User Datagram Protocol) . . . Well, it’s a long scroll, and it’s okay if it’s missing parts (e.g. Zoom) Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2021 Fall — 2021-10-15 – p.32/57
way, inside the entrance of Mita Station, there is a photocopier, which copies just part of the scroll at a time, and students pass through the ticket gate with one fragment each in their hand Each fragment is sequentially numbered from the top of the scroll Students are not familiar with the railway network, and when they ask the station staff how to get to Waseda, they are told to go to Otemachi, so they do Students ask again at Otemachi Station (router), and are told to change to the Tozai Line When they arrive at Waseda Station, a student operates a scanner/printer before the exit, scanning the fragments in numerical order and outputting a long scroll on the printer, and students pull it to the Waseda campus Now, some students may get lost on the way What would you do? Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2021 Fall — 2021-10-15 – p.33/57
TCP Students pick up their receipts (with fragment #) at Waseda Station and take them back to Mita Station At Mita Station, if a receipt is not returned, it is assumed that the fragment was not delivered, and another student is sent out with the fragment UDP Why do we care if some students get lost? (They are grown up, and we are certain that they will make it to their home) Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2021 Fall — 2021-10-15 – p.34/57

can write IP? How fast can a router get? If it is not simple, it won’t work If it is not simple, it will be slow It is really important to make it simple and easy Smarter design, such as variable-length address instead of fixed-length, would have slowed down development of the Internet if it were chosen IPv4 uses fixed 32-bit IP addresses IPv6 uses fixed 128-bit IP addresses Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2021 Fall — 2021-10-15 – p.41/57

Internet is at a crossroads It means whether the main character is a person, a different unit, a circle of friends, an organization or a country It is important to be able to define it freely Basically, each and every one of us must be able to have a presence on the Internet, and we must ensure that each of us is the main character of communication on the Earth This is very important — Jun Murai 1999-07-07 From “DOCUMENT LIFE a ryuichi sakamoto opera 1999” Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2021 Fall — 2021-10-15 – p.48/57
architecture . . . It is the basis for distributing digital information through transparent channels and providing a commons environment The key to Internet architecture is to provide alternatives On the communication side, multiple media can be used freely — Robert Elliot Kahn, 2004-11 (translated back from Japanese) In a private conversation with Prof. Hiroshi Esaki of the University of Tokyo (from his book “Cyber-First”) Commons = resources accessible to all members of a society Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2021 Fall — 2021-10-15 – p.49/57

a post office, so to speak Electric Vehicles (EV) ← not exactly electronic, but . . . Everyone can build a car e-publishing (e.g. Kindle by Amazon) Everyone can be a publisher ← rather, WWW has done it e-money (e.g. Suica by JR East, xxPay, etc.) Everyone can be a bank ← rather, digital currency is doing it e-government Everyone can be or do what?
