A decade of webdesign

http://www.decadeofwebdesign.org/

2005

Olanda

In 1994 the world wide web crept out of its scientific and academic egg and entered the first phases of popular consciousness. At this point the web design explosion began. Ten years later, we would like to stand back and attempt to map something of these years of frenetic and inventive interdisciplinary work.

The Atlantic cable of 1858 was established to carry instantaneous communications across the ocean for the first time. Although the laying of this first cable was seen as a landmark event in society, it was a technical failure. It only remained in service a few days.

La vera storia di Internet

Gubitosa Carlo

Italia

L'avventura che ha dato vita alla "Rete delle Reti" non può essere ridotta alla semplice realizzazione di un progetto militare. Più che una conquista strategica delle forze armate, Internet è stata la conquista umana e culturale di un gruppo di persone che hanno creduto nel networking quando parlare di condivisione delle risorse suonava come un'eresia

A Decade of Internet Evolution

http://www.cisco.com/web/about/ac123/ac147/archived_issues/ipj_11-2/112_evolution.html

2008

In 1998 the Internet had about 50 million users, supported by approximately 25 million servers (Web and e-mail hosting sites, for example, but not desktops or laptops). In that same year, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) [1] was created. Internet companies such as Netscape Communications, Yahoo!, eBay, and Amazon were already 3 to 4 years old and the Internet was in the middle of its so-called "dot-boom" period. Google emerged that year as a highly speculative effort to "organize the world's information and make it accessible and useful." Investment in anything related to the Internet was called "irrational exuberance" by the then head of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank, Alan Greenspan.

The evolutionary path of any technology can often take strange and unanticipated turns and twists. At some points simplicity and minimalism can be replaced by complexity and ornamentation, while at other times a dramatic cut-through exposes the core concepts of the technology and removes layers of superfluous additions. The technical evolution of the Internet appears to be no exception, and contains these same forms of unanticipated turns and twists.

The Death Of The Internet, How Industry Intends To Kill The 'Net As We Know It

http://www.democraticmedia.org/news_room/articles/2002/death_internet

2002

Chester Jeff

The Internet's promise as a new medium -- where text, audio, video and data can be freely exchanged -- is under attack by the corporations that control the public's access to the 'Net, as they see opportunities to monitor and charge for the content people seek and send. The industry's vision is the online equivalent of seizing the taxpayer-owned airways, as radio and television conglomerates did over the course of the 20th century.
