People talk about the Internet ecosystem, the digital world, and yes, cyberspace. While all of these terms have physical and tangible connotations, we rarely ask what it takes for this “place” to be welcoming, free and open - or simply, healthy. Building on Mozilla’s prototype for an Internet Health Report the Internet Health Clinic opens its doors on Monday, May 8 to an interactive installation with five examination tables, each specialised on one issue: decentralisation, digital inclusion, digital literacy, openness, and privacy & security. First-class Internet researchers will present preliminary lab results, and invite you, as fellow researchers, to contribute your questions and observations. This hands-on analysis will run a diagnostic test of your own feelings on Internet health as well as an informal survey about how to support a healthy Internet environment.
