the 24 hours in cyberspace is the translation of what news people view as the internet. I think we did much better in "the network nation" (hiltz and turoff) still available from MIT press via amazon. The essence of the internet is that any set of people who have some common interest they want to share and find one another no matter where they are in the world and form a social group, community, taskforce, or any other collaborative undertaking. The EIES system in 1975 was a social media system and it evolved lots of communication structures that work for different purpose but as yet are still not implemented on the Web because everyone is focusing on what will be the electronic version of the black telephone that everyone used in the early days of the phone network. As a result a lot of possible systems that would better service small cohesive communities do not yet exist. As an example the use of current social media to help out in emergencies has been useful but no where near what could be done if people had access to a system really designed to allow wide scale public use in an emergency. The industry has been focusing on mass market systems which is what happens as part of the commercial process. Unfortunately, the sponsorship of real research in tailored communication system focusing on the nature of a group wanting to communicate and the application that brings them together. While we know a lot about what, for example, voting can do for group, other than the amazon 5 star feedback system none of the current social media systems have put in small group voting process such as is done in Delphi studies (see the Delphi Method Book (from 1975, free on my website) and some of the original research studies from the early EIES system free from the NJIT library http://library.njit.edu/archives/cccc-materials/index.php Most of the original research reports are there and are more complete than most of the published papers from that period. There is also user manuals for EMISARI which was the first collaborative system designed for asynchronous communications in an emergency in 1971 and which operated for the government to run the 1971 wage price freeze and for 15 years of emergency operations after that. The Delphi conference which was designed in 1970 and was the first ever asynchronous group system was used as the software bases for the creation of EMISARI (Emergency Management Information System and Reference Index) Delphi method book at http://is.njit.edu/turoff a lot of the early work on online education is at http://is.njit.edu/hiltz The very first collaborative asynchronous system for dispersed members was published here Turoff, Murray, Delphi Conferencing: Computer Based Conferencing with Anonymity, Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 3, 159-204, 1972.

Bill,
In my intro to ICT in business I used until recently a 13 minutes video available in YouTUBE called 24 hours in cyberspace, that showcases the emergence of the World Wide Web,

Hello, SIGCIS.
Can you recommend a video on the history of the Internet that is available online?
This is for a general education, freshman-level class Foundations of Computer Science.
I'd prefer one that is no more than 30 minutes long, or that would still be interesting if only a 30-min segment were viewed.
Thanks!
Bill
