Nancy Baym was asking about the internet in movie life. In the back of the 2 volume Berkshire Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction, edited by William Sims Bainbridge, there is a long list (compiled by me and others) of movies with an HCIish slant. On the website, there is a button for the "HCI in Popular Culture" but it doesn't appear to be operative. I am asking Karen Christiensen the publisher about it. For details on the E of HCI, go to http://www.berkshirepublishing.com/# and click on the book cover or Encyclopedia name.

Not being much of a movie-going gal myself, I need help! Among those I can think of offhand are: You've Got Mail (couple hate each other IRL, find true love anonymously online) Closer (couple is deceptively set up online by another leading to very dysfunctional relationship) The Net (identity theft almost ruins net-addicted heroine's life) Must Love Dogs (couple find true love through online dating despite net dating's general portrayal as rife with deceptive losers) If you can identify others, especially with a really brief summary of what role the net plays, please email me offlist. I'll compile list and post to air-l Thanks in advance, Nancy _______________________________________________ The air-l@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/ ------ End of Forwarded Message
