She will also discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with the study of media, public opinion and politics with the emergence of the Internet.

Upcoming Event: GTISC - CISTP Distinguished Lecture with Dr. Steve Lukasik - Wednesday, September 17, 2008

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 10:37:44 -0400

The GTISC - CISTP Distinguished Lecture featuring Dr. Steve Lukasik will be held on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at the Charles A. Smithgall Student Services Building, 353 Ferst Drive, Auditorium – Room 117, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pmm. The title of the lecture is "Rainbow's Beginning: The Difficult Birth of Networking." Abstract: How the Internet came to be, with its myriad applications and implications for the future, is a story usually told in triumphant terms. The Licklider vision; the fervor of his disciples; the dedication of computer scientists and electrical engineers; the sweat of a small number of graduate students; the faith of the Advanced Research Projects Agency seeking to avoid technological surprise; and the apparently unbounded attraction of the ARPANET to its early participants carries with it a sense of its inevitable success in the marketplace of computer users. But networking was not quite the "slam dunk" that now-discredited phrase might imply. The path to the eventual success of networking was strewn with obstacles that had to be overcome. In the interest of supplementing the technical history by illuminating the points of resistance, one can perhaps more fully appreciate the survival of the infant.
