Dear Adriana, I would add that the the Haubens' Netizens: On the History and Impact of Usenet and the Internet offers good insight into the aspirations of the users of Usenet. Chris Leslie On Wed, Nov 16, 2016 at 12:31 PM, Julian Kilker <julian.kilker@gmail.com> wrote:
In addition to the excellent recommendations by others, may I recommend taking a look at my article that examines the socio-technical construction of early email? It was published by The Charles Babbage Institute’s unfortunately short-lived Iterations journal, and is available here: http://www.cbi.umn.edu/iterations/kilker.pdf.
Many of the article’s findings continue to be relevant for internet and society courses.
Best regards,
—Julian

Re: [Air-L] advice on course readings
m teaching a graduate seminar for MS and PhD students called “internet and society” next spring.
I’m looking for good readings (book chapters and/or journal articles) on two subjects: - history of asynchronous communication platforms (USENET, BBS, blogs, wikis, etc.) - history of synchronous communication platforms (MUDs, chat environments, etc.)
