Section Title:
How We Became Digital
Section Info:
The digital is everywhere, but it did not come out of nowhere. As concepts, phenomena, and concrete projects, “social networks,” the “World Wide Web,” the “virtual,” the “cyber,” and even the “digital” came from a strange mix of people and places, ranging from defense scientists to hippies to quirky professors at the University of Illinois. In order to better understand how we became digital, we will study the roots of digital discourse in industry, military, universities, and the counterculture of the 1960s.
