Reaction Paper #3

Here's your third paper! Also, Henry Rollins is speaking next Thursday (the 18th) at Stephens Auditorium in Ames at 8 p.m. If you want to go and write a summary and reaction to what he says, you can get extra credit. Google Henry Rollins if you have never heard of him, he's quite the character.

Anyway, here is the third paper assignment:

The first two are early stories about the World Wide Web. The third is a bit of history about how it came about. I'd like to hear your reaction to the first two stories and how you think things have changed since then. Do you remember your first time online? (I remember being impressed that you could talk to someone in Canada!). Why was the Internet first created?
