Here’s how The Post covered the ‘grand social experiment’ of the Internet in 1988
Oddly enough, today the Washington Post has chosen to reprint a 1988 article about the Internet; that article mentions Robert Tappan Morris, the first person prosecuted under the Computer Fraud Act, whom Brittney Douress told us about today. Nice timing, Brittney! 🙂

1994/1995 Flatland BBS Menu Screen | Flickr – Photo Sharing!
Okay, here’s a picture that roughly approximates how people used to interact with the Internet before there was a Web. All through text, all through a CLI (command-line interface). I started grad school in 1992 and this is pretty much what we had. This too is what that 1988 Washington Post article is thinking of when it talks about Internet.

Here’s the CLI program I used to read email at the University of Virginia in 1992, when I first started using the Internet. Again, not the web. It didn’t exist yet.

Here’s what the Morris Worm prosecutor thinks about Aaron Swartz
More on Robert Tappan Morris, plus a comparison to Aaron Swartz (whom a few of you know about). Swartz was charged in 2011 or 2012 (I forget which) under the same law Morris was, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and committed suicide in January.
