Map of the Internet 1.0. by JaySimons on deviantART - 2 views

  •  
    "Map of the Internet - First of its kind on such a scale, this map aims for succesful compendation of The Internet to scale suitable for standartized online navigation. This project is still underway, new versions of this map will be available in ulterior months. Due to the immense size of the Net, only a miniscule portion of it was chosen to represent it on the map.  Otherwise, this map would be unreadable and probably undrawable in entire lifespan of average human being. This poster includes one full map of the internet, 4 minimaps showcasing NSA surveillance, most used social networks, most used internet browser, and worldwide internet penetration, list of Alexa Top 500 websites, quick timeline of the Internet History, top software companies and much more! By Martin Vargic/Jay Jason Simons"

What the internet was going to be like in 1981 | John Rentoul | Independent Eagle Eye B... - 1 views

  •  
    "Everything about this 2′17″ report is wonderful: the rounded-screen computers (which remind me of my first computer, an Osborne "suitcase", in 1983); the dial phone; the handset coupler; the green capitals on lined screen; the advertising for the concept: "A world of information at your fingertips." The reporter says that there are "an estimated two to three thousand home computer owners in the Bay area". One of whom says he likes the idea of copying articles from newspapers and printing them out to save. "I think it is the future.""

Digital Life in 2025 | Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project - 1 views

  •  
    "This report is the latest research report in a sustained effort throughout 2014 by the Pew Research Center to mark the 25th anniversary of the creation of the World Wide Web by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He wrote a paper on March 12, 1989 proposing an "information management" system that became the conceptual and architectural structure for the Web.  He eventually released the code for his system  - for free - to the world on Christmas Day in 1990. It became a milestone in easing the way for ordinary people to access documents and interact over the Internet - a system that linked computers and that had been around for years."

The lost promise of the Internet: Meet the man who almost invented cyberspace - Salon.com - 0 views

  • just as the unregulated frontier of the 19th century gave rise to the age of robber barons, so the Internet has seen a rapid consolidation of power in the hands of a few corporate winners.
  • Otlet saw the Mundaneum as the central nervous system for a new world order rooted squarely in the public sector.
  • That network would do more than just provide access to information; it would serve as a platform for collaboration between governments that would, Otlet believed, help create the necessary conditions for world peace.

  • Billions of people may rely on Google’s search engine, but only a handful of well-paid engineers inside the Googleplex understand how it actually works.
  • His ideas are more than just a matter of historical curiosity, but rather a kind of Platonic ideal of what the network could be: not a channel for the fulfillment of worldly desires, but a vehicle for nobler pursuits: scholarship, social progress and even spiritual liberation. Shangri-La indeed.

  •  
    "Some believe the internet is losing its direction as an enabler for a more connected society and falling into the hands of corporations. Isaac Wilder, founder of the Free Network Foundation, is fighting back because he believes companies like Facebook and Twitter are now corporations and far from the original ideology of an open web. "A lot of people put a lot of faith in those platforms and don't realize that the medium is the message," he said. This is how he and his supporters plan to take back the web for the people..."

The Awkward 'Privacy Talk' Parents Should Have With Their Kids | Wired Opinion | Wired.com - 1 views

  •  
    "Parents across the globe today - from Lagos to Los Angeles and from Myanmar to Moscow - need to have a new conversation with their kids. No, it's not about how their kids are behaving in class, why they should never talk to strangers, or when they need to be home at night. It's not even the talk that parents usually brace themselves for, about sex. It's something new, something parents never considered as a critical issue 20 or 10 or even 5 years ago - but something that is just as pervasive as any of the other issues in their children's lives and, in so many ways, just as important. It's data permanence. How we can preserve our reputations in the digital era?"
