Good insight in to the significance of academic reseach labs
|
| This book was an excellent read. Garfinkel was able to write about some of the most interesting developments in network technology. This book is great for people who dont have a complete understanding of what the internet is all about and where it came from. Garfinkel draws a lot of attention and gives a lot of much needed credit to academic research labs for their impact on computer technology. The book's three main parts take the reader on a journey from the development of project MAC (short for multiple access computer and machine aided cognition) in the Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS) in MIT to the growth of large computer networks to the impact these networks and systems will have on our society and economy in the future. The book gave me a great history lesson on some of the lesser known aspects of computer network development. I'd recommend this book to anyone who doesnt understand how many years and how long the road has been to developing the computer systems of today. |
