[Air-l] "a day in the life of the internet"

[English, Nicole]

Hi...
Well ....  I may be going out on a limb here, but seems to me I remember being invited to participate in a project some years ago that had this same title....  or a similar one.... "a day in the life of the internet"
 
it was an invitation for folks to submit a description of how the Internet was integral to their lives over the course of a particular 24 hour day....  kind of like an "exquisite corpse" type of group project (if there is anyone around who still remembers those projects) ....  it was put together online as compilation of individual stories....  but eventually, it was actually published as a book, (if memory serves me correctly)....  much like _Zen and the Art the Internet_ started out as an online document and later was published as a book....  (You can still find that one and other early works on Project Guttenberg, one of my favorite sites.)  
 
Don't know about any Ann Curry connection....  (but I did think (at the time) that the "24 hours in Cyberspace" was a photo version of this earlier written work).... 
 
Unfortunately, I do not see any immediate references now to that Internet project any more....  perhaps it is now lost to early Internet lore... but I remember that it had quite a bit of media buzz about it at the time....  thinking it was at least 8 or 10 years ago, but it could be 15 years ago....  guess I am kind of dating myself.... and exposing myself as an early Net-junkie long before the Web became popular....  (*sigh*)
:S

I believe you want "24 hours in cyberspace : photographed on one day by
150 of the world's leading photojournalists" / created by Rick Smolan and
Jennifer Erwitt. [Indianapolis, Ind.?] : QUE Macmillan : Produced
by Against All Odds Productions, c1996. ISBN    0789709252.

Rick Smolan, Leslie Smolan and David Cohen were/are editors of an ongoing
"A Day in the Life of ..." series. The America and Africa books being the
more famous, but there are many even seasonally a "Christmas in America"
one. They have a new series "... 24/7" as in "America 24/7" in which the
photographers are given one week instead on only 24 hours to make the
images for the books.

Don't know of an Ann Curry.

Enjoy
