Ashwin “Ash” Rangan oversees the day-to-day operations and formulates strategies for ICANN’s global teams of Engineers. A part of his remit is to keep an eye on the technologies which shape the future. With an eye on the next 10 years, Ash will be talking about 8 technologies – each of which has the potential to reshape or fundamentally change the Internet, as we know of it today. For example – Quantum Computing, which has the potential to solve some of today’s thorniest problems – like Proteomics, for example. But which also has the potential to “break the Internet”.
