History of the internet from Malone Media Group


In class, we discussed the Internet -- History, video gaming, interpersonal/group/mass communication aspects, convergence, reverse synergy, hacking, crowdfunding, memes and legacy and online media. We looked at this interactive infographic about the worldwide digital divide. Less than 25 percent of the world has Internet. In the U.S., 78.3 percent have access to the Internet.
