timeline reactions
All of the pioneers covered in this installment seem interconnected, like the cybernetic artists and engineers who collaborated. I had no idea that WIRED had been around so long, it always seemed so..new, but I guess that's how it surived. the ARC demonstration sounds like it was a huge rock concert for computer people, it's pretty exciting. The 60s were just full of so much energy and progress. I wonder if the people actually living those times felt it, or if it just seems glamorous to us now. What will people think of this period later?

Adele,
You might want to look up the history of WIRED on Wikipedia. It appears to be quite accurate.
FYI--I was your age in the late 60s. I was fortunate to go to a college 60 minutes from Washington, D.C. I went to all the anti-War demonstrations there. And worte for and participated in many beginning publications at that time. It WAS a time not to be believed. I have photos and huge archive of my experiences in D.C. and NYC, where I saw Jimi Hendrix, Joplin, the Greatful Dead, Morrison, etc. By the way, I majored in college in Eastern Religions and orental mysticism.
