Community Memory: Discussion List on the History of Cyberspace ______________________________________________________________________
The first use of the Net for non-geek-speak information distribution was in 1971, when the Net was moving from 5 to 23 hosts. It was the Declaration of Independence posted at the Materials Research Lab, at the University of Illinois, and was the first electronic text people could read as easily as the computers could read. This Etext is one of nearly 850 available from Project Gutenberg [try any search], and of thousands now available on the Net.
