[Air-L] Internet history textbook

[Thomas Jones]

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.
