Tillbaks till skolbänken

Tack Fredrik Hallberg från Bright Media för en spännande dragning kring ”Det nya medialandskapet” förra veckan. (Jag kommer att återkomma till Hallbergs tankar i framtida inlägg).

Fredrik introducerade mig i alla fall till Paul Baran´s tidiga tankar kring internet (1964). Coolt!

"....Paul Baran was working on a classified U.S. Air Force contract, whose purpose was to identify ways to strengthen the Nation's telecommunication infrastructure so that it could survive a nuclear strike. Part of his solution was to develop distributed telecommunication networks. If information was truly distributed, instead of everything flowing into and out of central points, then a network could still work effectively even if some legs of the network were damaged or removed. Implementing such a distributed network involved a technique called packet switching...." (citat).

Bilden ovan inspirerade mig att söka vidare i historien....
