- This video shows what people in 1969 thought the future of technology might be. It's short and interesting to see just how accurate these predictions were:
- Check out this brief video about the Internet from 1981. It's pretty amazing to see how far we have come.
- Check out this news story video which was from a few years later and was talking about the Internet.
- Don't stress over the "alphabet soup" that is web page design. I tend to avoid questions such as "Define the following: CERN, NCSA, NSF, ARPA, W3C, TCP, XML, XHTML, CSS, etc.". I mostly want you to get a feel for where these things came from and their context. To help with this, check out the brief video called "Warriors of the Net". This video does a great job of explaining how the Internet works in human terms -- while still managing to fit in some "computerese". I like it. :)
