The Columbia Journalism Review posted a lengthy story about the origins of the Internet this morning. It's at http://www.cjr.org/the_news_frontier/something_to_talk_about.php?page=all . I lack the standing to argue what it says, but it's interesting to compare what they claim (as a respected house organ of the professional media) vs what I see being discussed here on IP.

The (in)accuracy of the article may perhaps be best represented by its failure to get straight the title of the Hafner-Lyon book (Where wizards stay up late).
