About 100 Ideas That Changed The Web
Review "100 Ideas that Changed the Web is wonderfully illuminating in its entirety" - BRAIN PICKINGS"Full of fun anecdotes and startling facts that will make you appreciate, and totally school everyone else, on our modern day lifeline that is the internet" - NYLON"A book anyone might enjoy. It sums up efficiently important concepts and allows readers to take a step back and look at how much their lives have changed in a relatively short period of time." - WE MAKE MONEY NOT ART"The history of the web sounds like a dull affair but Jim Boulton turns it into a page-turner" - SHORTLIST"The history of the most significant invention of our lifetime" - ESQUIRE Product Description This innovative title looks at the history of the Web from its early roots in the research projects of the US government to the interactive online world we know and use today.Fully illustrated with images of early computing equipment and the inside story of the online world's movers and shakers, the book explains the origins of the Web's key technologies, such as hypertext and mark-up language, the social ideas that underlie its networks, such as open source, and creative commons, and key moments in its development, such as the movement to broadband and the Dotcom Crash. Later ideas look at the origins of social networking and the latest developments on the Web, such as The Cloud and the Semantic Web.Following the design of the previous titles in the series, this book will be in a new, smaller format. It provides an informed and fascinating illustrated history of our most used and fastest-developing technology. About the Author Jim Boulton is the curator of Digital Archaeology an event that celebrates the golden age of the website and raises the profile of digital preservation. The show has gained global media coverage and support from The Library of Congress, The British Library, and Google. It currently appears as part of Digital Revolution, an exhibition organised by The Barbican now on international tour.
