[Air-L] URL security and sharing links RE: Internet history textbook

[Peter Timusk]

Thanks I am exploring this book and related books now on Amazon. 

Just a note about net security and sharing links on Amazon and other web
sites. You only needed this much of your URL

http://www.amazon.com/Who-Controls-Internet-Illusions-Borderless/dp/01953406
47/

not this

http://www.amazon.com/Who-Controls-Internet-Illusions-Borderless/dp/01953406
47/ref=tmm_pap_title_0


To add the extra part afterwards can sometimes be a security risk if there
are codes when you are logged into Amazon that could allow others access to
your account because of the coded information. It may never happen with
Amazon for all I know I just also know that some of these extra codes are
tracking information used by the web site to watch you web surfing path on
their web site.

Without question the best book for the history of the Internet, and where we
are today is "Who Controls the Internet: Illusions of a Borderless World".

This should be required introductory reading for anyone in the information
field.

One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary
form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school
and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge
of the value of the result to the community.
