Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Internet," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Internet in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Internet when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Internet, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

if the journey to knowledge begins with just a single, small step, here's a stepping stone to the "new literacy"
College leaders would do well to ensure that a copy of young Professor Trinkle's "The History Highway" is on the desktop of each faculty member, and then interview him or her a month later on what they discovered when navigating around the "new literacy". In pointed contrast, I remember too well a much older and "very retiring" professor at a highly ranked college recently insisting that "this Pen is My computer".
A journey through knowledge begins with but a single, small step --as ancient seers would remind us. "The History Highway" offers anyone (older or young) a "roadmap" to their own choice of any of 2000 or so stepping off points. For example, "images taken from the Bayeaux Tapestry [embroidery 230 feet long; the original story document presented to an illiterate population] make this a visually appealing and useful site (Norman Invasion of England, 1066)". But wait, there's more: "Periodic updates to the text are available online."
Our new digital lifestyle can (will?) transform Academia "before you can say Great Scott!" Or at least, for certain, a lot more quickly than the Gutenberg effect transformed schooling and culture.

A great intro to the internet
Remember when you first got on the internet?If you are not a techie (I am not one) it can be pretty scary, loaded with lots of terms and procedures that are taken for granted by so many and explained by so few tothe uninitiated.

Art Wolinsky's "History of the Internet and theWorld Wide Web" and the other books in the "Internet Libraryseries" offer a very friendly introduction to what the internet is allabout.We are homeschoolers and I would recommend it to otherhomeschoolers, but anyone of any age will find it useful and helpful.

Thebooks are well-written and use very little jargon, unless Wolinsky firstexplains the jargon to you.My early elementary-aged son (who is a verygood reader) and I enjoyed them very much; he's read all four books, I'veonly read two of them all the way through.They are geared toward lateelementary and junior high or early high school readers, I'dsay.

Wolinsky uses humor and very clear illustrations.This subjectcould be really dead dull; but not in these books.They are absolutelywonderful.And for those reluctant readers in your family, each book isabout 64 pages long, so they don't get too much information in onegulp.

I highly recommend any or all of the books in the Internet Libraryseries.I would start with this one, then read "Communicating on theInternet" and "Locating and Evaluating Information on theInternet", and lastly read the "Creating and Publishing Web Pageson the Internet."We found that they built on one another, so thatthe last book was like a field trip at the end of a school year.Good fun,especially for homeschoolers and other lovers of learning. ...
