	A Brief History of the Internet -- Internet Society
		The Internet is at once a world-wide broadcasting capability, a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for collaboration and interaction between individuals and their computers without regard for geographic location.
		Internet was based on the idea that there would be multiple independent networks of rather arbitrary design, beginning with the ARPANET as the pioneering packet switching network, but soon to include packet satellite networks, ground-based packet radio networks and other networks.
		The Internet is as much a collection of communities as a collection of technologies, and its success is largely attributable to both satisfying basic community needs as well as utilizing the community in an effective way to push the infrastructure forward.

		The Psychology of the Internet by Patricia Wallace
		It is argued by many that the emergence of the internet signals the coming of a new era in the history of cultural transmission.
		In fact, he makes a good case that certain organizations are responding to the Internet in a fitful reflex of denial or embrace, perhaps even an odd combination of both, unconsciously sowing the seeds for their own destruction or transformation.

	NewsForge \| Why the Internet Society is important
		I spent part of last week at INET 2002, billed as "The Internet Society's 12th Annual INET Conference: 'Internet Crossroads: Where Technology and Policy Intersect.'" I came away wondering where, if anywhere, the Internet Society (ISOC) is going.
		Although ISOC talks of being "a professional membership society," almost any individual can become a member for free, although donations are certainly welcome.
		That's all we need, is to turn the internet over to another "international" organization, when it was the U.S. Government that coordinated the entire creation of the internet in the first place.

	The Internet and Society
		Proof of the growth of internet can be the fact that this essay, if presented as the author intended, is being read over electronic communication.
		In order for the internet to become an integral portion of the society, it must be used by many people, but the concept that the internet is going to connect everyone eventually is flawed.
		Scribner might then compare knowledge of the internet to the idea of literacy as power because having the wealth of human knowledge at one's fingertips can definitely be considered a form of power.

	Review of The Internet and Society
		He does not consider the Internet as an entity on its own, but rightly places it in its position as a medium, which is influenced by the cultural baggage that its users bring to it.
		While these analyses have their place in a diachronic examination of the Internet and the changes in communication, they seem a bit out-dated in a more general discussion of the Internet and society.
		But, since the Internet is so young, there has not been enough such research, and one constantly sees the same few authors cited in books like this.

	Internet Society
		The social structure of the Internet is anarchistic.
		The Internet flourishes mainly due to the cooperation of the local nodes.
