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.

This is exactly what they wanted: we share files or texts and everyone can see them.
Everyone can create something on their own computer and send it to everyone else.
We're like a neural network where everyone can contribute to a work and everyone can see the contributions of others.
We can - as Licklider and Taylor said - work much more efficiently than face-to-face,
since everyone can contribute to the work at the same time.
We can also draw parallels between usenet and Licklider and Taylor's thinking on the vision of the conference.
They said that each participant should save his or her work on a platform so that on the day of the presentation,
the presenter could display their work directly thanks to the downloads they had made earlier.
