Brandon Fouts attempts at holistic networking?

Mankind continues to shape the world. (e)valuations of these shapes fascinates me. I hope some of these links inspire Evaluations about the Eworld we networking people help create and in turn the larger world we all live in and the world our children will inherit.

Some computer technology history:
  • Ted Nelson - hypertext | Kahn and Cerf - tcp/ip | VLSI - you need the HW to run the SW - Lynn Conway and Carver Mead | founding father - beginning of the Internet | Marty Goetz broke IBM monopoly and helped seperate HW and SW? | NetFuture is about technology and responsibility. | World Clock just for fun and partially demonstrates power of internet communications. Don't waste your computing power -put it to use-Boinc.

    • Genetic knowledge and manipulation has been dramatically accelerated because of The Net, so consider the new Biotechnology. Then listen to J. Craig Venter talk about his latest book A Life Decoded: My Genome, My Life (sequenced the first human genome in 2001). Read about golden rice hoax to get some perspective on global corporations. Now you can use the new power of The Net and do some of your own research. Especially good are How not to do Science and Grains of Delusion and this update.

    Humor usually helps JOHO and it may give you insights! Dilbert another insightful place?

    You need to understand the differences between circuit switched (The Public Network) and packet switched (TCP/IP and the Internet). Read the next 4 links, and you'll better understand how what you build today will effect the future. The Stupid Network voice data convergence The Rest of the Story his favorite quotes are great. Founding Father of the Internet Saving the Soul of the Internet. Consider 3 public 'networks' - Water, Electricity, Telephone. One is so cheap, you have no idea what it costs (and after you use it there is an entire network to take away and treat the waste). The next is so cheap that we have to advertise to ask you to use less. And don't forget to consider this Paradox of the best Network.

    With local telephone and cableTV monopolies, that seems to leave radio as a hope for inexpensive/reasonable broadband internet access. But alas, this is also a monopoly (oh, is that why an AM radio from 50 years ago still works the same way - did you really think this was the ONE electronic invention that had no room for improvement?). Well, here is a couple of places to keep an eye on. New Community Networks | Wireless Freenets
