Hi everyone, I am designing a course for undergraduates about new media technologies. One thing I want to cover is the history and technological construction of the Internet, WWW, and web applications. Are there any good textbooks or reading materials you can suggest I use on the syllabus? CarrieLynn D. Reinhard, PhD
Without question the best book for the history of the Internet, and where we are today is "Who Controls the Internet: Illusions of a Borderless World". This should be required introductory reading for anyone in the information field. http://www.amazon.com/Who-Controls-Internet-Illusions-Borderless/dp/01953406... HTH, Thomas Jones @othertomjones http://theothertomjones.com One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community. -- Albert Einstein, On Education -- On Mar 13, 2011, at 5:48 PM, CarrieLynn Reinhard wrote:

Janet Abbate's "Inventing the Internet" does a great job of melding the technological and social histories of the Internet. -hal On 3/13/11 5:25 PM, Thomas Jones wrote:

You very much want "On The Way To The Web." http://www.amazon.com/Way-Web-History-Internet-Founders/dp/B004JZWLTK/ It covers the non-Internet items that are part of online history. On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 5:48 PM, CarrieLynn Reinhard <ijedi7@yahoo.com>wrote:

Hi, CarrieLynn. Think a good choice is "Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of The Internet" by Katie Hafner. Best, Alejandro Tortolini Scitech journalist - Teacher Buenos Aires, Argentina
Hello, When I teach Digital Rhetoric, I use the online oral history _How the Web Was Won_: http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2008/07/internet200807 Students seem to really enjoy this and then they are more interested in the supplementary articles that we read concerning political economy, cultural criticism, etc. Jennifer On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 7:22 PM, Alejandro Tortolini <alemtor@gmail.com>wrote:
