How does Usenet fit into the vision presented by Licklider and Taylor in
"The Computer as a Communication Device"?
Reflect on:
- Which aspects of their vision are realized through Usenet?
- What aspects have evolved differently from what they imagined?
Feel free to respond to comments made by your classmates as well.
Is this where I am supposed to write the message ? What’s the difference between a follow up and a reply ? Anyways.
Is this whole usenet system still active in any way ? On one hand it seems very outdated and inconvenient, but on another… this is still running smoothly and seems to be maintained competently. Never underestimate legacy systems’ ability to stick around I guess. I wonder who’ sjob it is to upkeep 50-year old obsolete internet forums for… whoever still uses them
I find this interesting, and quite frankly a little nostalgic, despite never living in a period where this was at its height. It harkens back to an older period of computers, where the internet was less comercialised, less pervasive and all around us
