Hi Bob, I'll be there on Sunday - I presented today. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on that question, and maybe participating in some discussion! -- Ian On Fri, Apr 17, 2015 at 3:30 PM, <sigcos@bobf.frankston.com> wrote:

In my talk at IFTF this coming week (http://rmf.vc/IFTF2015) I plan to present a my own take on the history of the Internet as I watched it evolve as a byproduct of shifting intelligence into our devices. Some sense of this is in http://rmf.vc/IEEERefactoringCE. I realize that the “Institute For the Future” framing seems to be the opposite of history but the first step is to revisit the last fifty years in light of what we’ve learned since. We tend to fit the Internet into the story of telecommunications rather than recognizing that it a discontinuity and part of a very different story.

For those in the New Jersey area I’m going to be at http://www.vintage.org/2015/east/ this weekend. Where do vintage computer fit into the mission of SIGCOS?

BTW, for those of us without MUSE access how do we read http://www.infoculturejournal.org/abstracts/50.2?
