Tech Insider: An Expert Blog on the State of Federal Technology

The Birth of Hypermedia

By Allan Holmes   06/03/08 11:55 am ET

Thank you to my colleague and FedBlog blogger Tom Shoop for writing the following item.

For your viewing pleasure today, here’s a video produced under the sponsorship of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, NASA and the Air Force’s Rome Air Development Center. It features a live demonstration of e-mail, hypertext linking and teleconferencing.

Oh, and the year of the demonstration? 1968.

Absolutely amazing.
