devil's party - lecture notes
here are my notes for lecture five on the history of the internet/virtual philosophy.......
- the internet, the web and cyberspace…..
internet is a network of networks. Those networks include
servers
mainframes
and personal computers
they are loosely interconnected by the telephone system and more recently broadband cable and satellite services; to link people around the world into an information sharing system. - world wide web (www. or web)
the world wide web is one particular use of the internet that emerged in the 1990’s as people generally began to see the potential for computers to communicate with each other as a matter of course. The web emerged techniques of internetworking and hyper text to make an easy to use but powerful global system that shares all information accessible as part of a seamless hypertext space. The web includes all the internet sites that people have made available on servers around the world. - cyberspace
a conceptual space where words, relationships, data, wealth and power are manifested by people using computer mediated communication technologies. Is it a ‘consensual hallucination’ or a virtual reality?? It might be a third activity, actually real enough when you can make a living out of it. We must distinguish virtual communications of cyberspace from virtual reality. - early internet applications
electronic mail (email)
file transfer protocol (ftp)
internet relay chat (irc)
mud’s, mushes, moo’s etc - most recent internet applications

peer 2 peer
