Telehack: May the command line live forever. Telehack Telehack is a simulation of a stylized arpanet/usenet, circa 1985-1990. It is a full multi-user simulation, including 25,000 hosts and BBS's from the early net, thousands of files from the era, a collection of adventure and IF games, a working BASIC interpreter with a library of programs to run, simulated historical users, and more. Connecting ---------- On the web: or open a shell and type telnet telehack.com Telehack.com supports an open web telnet interface. You can also telnet directly to telehack on the regular telnet port of 23. The following ports are also open for those, who have issues connecting: 443, 1337, 8080, 31173 (e.g. 'telnet telehack.com 443') Accessibility ------------- Non-sighted users: please type STTY /dumb after connecting to telehack. This will invoke plain terminal mode in the Z-code games and avoid using ANSI cursor addressing. Telehack: A Faithful Recreation of the Retro Internet.

Once a upon a time, before Tim Berners-Lee hatched the idea for the World Wide Web at CERN, the Internet was completely text-based. If you were lucky enough to have Internet access in the late ’80s and early ’90s, it was a sure bet that you had to have at least some skill using the command line. You either had an account through a university or large corporation, or a dial-up account with one of the providers that were popping up all around as the Internet slowly grew in popularity. Someone has created an amazingly faithful recreation of the Internet’s original text-only roots, drawing on materials from Jason Scott’s popular Textfiles.com (a collection of, you guessed it, text files from the classic BBS era). Scott is alsp documentary filmmaker, and owner of Twitter’s favorite cat, Sockington. When you visit Telehack.com, you’ll be greeted with what looks like an old command-line interface, simulating an old green screen monochrome monitor. You can sign up for an account and log in.

Video Explains Graphical Interface from 1982. In 1982, some clever computer scientists at Bell Labs developed an innovative graphical interface on top of their influential Unix operating system. The Blit team developed a rather amusing (whether intentional or not) video explaining their research. The Blit terminal (yes, terminal.

It hooked up to a larger minicomputer such as a Vax to download it graphics software), invented by Rob Pike (who also appears in the video) and Bart Locanthi, was a piece of genius, allowing Unix users to truly multitask, as this video from YouTube user VintageCG shows. (VintageCG’s channel also has some excellent classic videos of influential graphics demos, dating back to the 60s. It’s really worth checking out.) Now users could play “Asteroids” while their code was compiling, in all its monochrome green screen glory. The video goes into detail about how the mouse worked, which is rather amusing today, but bear in mind the few people who would have seen one in 1982 were computer scientists.

Designing Calm Technology. Mark Weiser and John Seely Brown Xerox PARC December 21, 1995 Introduction Bits flowing through the wires of a computer network are ordinarily invisible. But a radically new tool shows those bits through motion, sound, and even touch. It communicates both light and heavy network traffic. Its output is so beautifully integrated with human information processing that one does not even need to be looking at it or near it to take advantage of its peripheral clues.

Created by artist Natalie Jeremijenko, the "Dangling String" is an 8 foot piece of plastic spaghetti that hangs from a small electric motor mounted in the ceiling. We have struggled for some time to understand the design of calm technology, and our thoughts are still incomplete and perhaps even a bit confused. The Periphery Designs that encalm and inform meet two human needs not usually met together. But some technology does lead to true calm and comfort. Not all technology need be calm.

History of the Internet. Discussion: Who Built the Internet. “Adam Fish helpfully summarizes libertechian, technoprogressive, Great Man, and peer-to-peer narratives of the creation of the internet.” [1] Adam Fish: “This battle over who made the internet—the US Pentagon at ARPA; Xerox and Apple; the volunteer bevy of open source coders; “founder father” network engineers Barran at Rand visualizing packet-switching, Cerf at ARPA engineering TCP/IP, Berners-Lee at CERN developing HTML, or Andreessen at the U of Illinois and Mosaic—spread across four camps each with their own classically liberal belief system regarding internet freedom, the role of the state, the legitimacy of business, the collective vibrancy of organizing without organizations, the sheer wit of gifted individuals, or the ideal confluence of state/business/citizenry/scientists.

Soon after the ruthless edits hit internet video sites, four arguments emerged about who really made the internet. L. The Corporations The State Rugged Individuals Who Built the Internet? World-Information.Org. How does the Internet work? To help you understand how the Internet works, we'll look at the things that happen when you do a typical Internet operation — pointing a browser at the front page of this document at its home on the Web at the Linux Documentation Project. This document is which means it lives in the file HOWTO/Unix-and-Internet-Fundamentals-HOWTO/index.html under the World Wide Web export directory of the host www.tldp.org. 12.1. Names and locations The first thing your browser has to do is to establish a network connection to the machine where the document lives.

To do that, it first has to find the network location of the host www.tldp.org (‘host’ is short for ‘host machine’ or ‘network host'; www.tldp.org is a typical hostname). To do this, your browser queries a program called a name server. The name servers on different machines talk to each other, exchanging and keeping up to date all the information needed to resolve hostnames (map them to IP addresses). 12.2.

The History of the Internet in a Nutshell. By Cameron Chapman If you’re reading this article, it’s likely that you spend a fair amount of time online. However, considering how much of an influence the Internet has in our daily lives, how many of us actually know the story of how it got its start?

Here’s a brief history of the Internet, including important dates, people, projects, sites, and other information that should give you at least a partial picture of what this thing we call the Internet really is, and where it came from. While the complete history of the Internet could easily fill a few books, this article should familiarize you with key milestones and events related to the growth and evolution of the Internet between 1969 to 2009. 1969: Arpanet Arpanet was the first real network to run on packet switching technology (new at the time). The first message sent across the network was supposed to be "Login", but reportedly, the link between the two colleges crashed on the letter "g". 1969: Unix 1970: Arpanet network 1971: Email.

The Internet was the result of some visionary thinking by people in the early 1960s who saw great potential value in allowing computers to share information on research and development in scientific and military fields. J.C.R. Licklider of MIT first proposed a global network of computers in 1962, and moved over to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in late 1962 to head the work to develop it.
