- In his book, Rewired, David Hudson says...
- · CompuServe failed to ignite widespread public interest · Their command line interface was too abstract for most users · Eventually had a Menu system - even that described as “Labyrinthine” · Peak usage: 380,000 subscribers · Still, they were the market leaders for nearly 10 years · Think of CompuServe as a kind of Online Library · One part information storage · One part social meeting place
- · 1990, IBM & Sears teamed up to take on CompuServe · Launched first graphical online service, Prodigy · Content heavily editorialized · No Consumer authored content · No Instant Messaging · No Bulletin Boards · Very limited Email · & No community · If had to apply MM: like an online magazine
- · Did have games! · Prodigy, aimed at novice end of market · It was smart strategy considering the confusing nature of CompuServe · Only connected with 465,000 subscribers · Graphics made service extremely SLOW · & w/o community people had little reason to return often · Prodigy had simplified online navigation · but sacrificed the key elements that made networks attractive in 1st place
- · Enter AOL · AOL launched shortly after Prodigy in 1991 · Lagged behind initially · but had a wider vision for its services · Launched massive direct mail onslaught of America
- · Gave away so many “Free Trial” disks, people wallpapered their homes · The aim was to lower consumer entry cost to nothing · Succeeded · AOL had slicker interface than Prodigy & more services · Took the entertainment & content features of Prodigy · & community features of CompuServe
- · packaged it in an easy to use interface · in process, created one of world’s most recognized sound bytes (click) · Email, chat rooms, IM · download files & articles · games, music, movies, news · but still little ability to author content · At their peak - 27 million subscribers · public had finally adopted online services on a massive scale · but AOL wouldn’t hold them for long
- · Meanwhile at CERN in Switzerland...
- · Tim Berners-Lee was thinking about the non-linearity of human memory · Imagined a uniform content & linking system that mimicked the human mind · So a document created on one computer, would look same on any computer · TBL played around with idea of non-linear information exploration · Had idea for documents where text, links, images, sound, & videos could co-exist · This was the birth of our modern concept of a webpage and the WWW · Created concept of the “Browser” to read & navigate the web of documents
- · First public browser, MOSAIC, released in 1993 · Genius of browser is it hid complex functions of internet · behind easily readable, easily writable documents · No more special knowledge would be needed to “surf” the internet or mine information · HTTP, the World Wide Web, and Browsers, put the agency of the web in hands of its inhabitants, us · Now same spirit of openness, community, and self-author-ship · born with ARPAnet · part of our everyday lives · no longer a division between academic internet & consumer internet · it’s just the internet
