[Air-l] FW: internet in movies (fwd)

[Barry Wellman]

Nancy Baym was asking about the internet in movie life.

In the back of the 2 volume Berkshire Encyclopedia of Human-Computer
Interaction, edited by William Sims Bainbridge, there is a long list
(compiled by me and others) of movies with an HCIish slant. On the
website, there is a button for the "HCI in Popular Culture" but it doesn't
appear to be operative.

I am asking Karen Christiensen the publisher about it.

For details on the E of HCI, go to http://www.berkshirepublishing.com/#
and click on the book cover or Encyclopedia name.

Didn't you do something like this for the HCI encyclopedia?

Hello All,

I would like to compile a list of movies in which the internet plays
a significant role. Not being much of a movie-going gal myself, I
need help! Among those I can think of offhand are:

You've Got Mail (couple hate each other IRL, find true love anonymously
online)

Closer (couple is deceptively set up online by another leading to
very dysfunctional relationship)

The Net (identity theft almost ruins net-addicted heroine's life)

Must Love Dogs (couple find true love through online dating despite
net dating's general portrayal as rife with deceptive losers)

If you can identify others, especially with a really brief summary of
what role the net plays, please email me offlist. I'll compile list
and post to air-l

Thanks in advance,

Nancy
