This is awesome, one of the best lecture I attended. We truly can admire the
beginings of the internet and its early uses. I find this captivating and really
motivationnal to see that back then, even if the technologies were not meerly as fast
as it is today, poeple would still find every way to communicate and connect with
others, the true nature of the human beings! The opportunity to grasp such a relic
of the past is amazing and a good source of knowledge to appreciate even more
all the tools we have now at our disposition. Thank you for this discovery!

- Which aspects of their vision are realized through Usenet?
- What aspects have evolved differently from what they imagined?
