In this article the authors will show how the parallel developments of information technology at the operational business level and decision support concepts progressed through the decades of the twentieth century with only minimal success at strategic application. They will posit that the twin technological developments of the world-wide-web and very inexpensive mass storage provided the environment to facilitate the convergence of business operations and decision support into the strategic application of business intelligence.

Recently, when I was diagnosed with an incurable and terminal bone marrow disease, I was dismayed to hear my doctor tell me that there were only three treatments available, two of which were unavailable to me because of my already frail condition. Furthermore, only 15% of patients responded at all to the third treatment, which would not cure but only impede the development of the disease. My response was to verify this information by going to the World Wide Web, and to my delight I found some 20 other treatments (albeit experimental) that my doctor had not mentioned. My experience typifies one of the significant advantages to patients arising out of the development of Internet medicine, and particularly of web sites devoted to health issues: Information previously parceled out by one's doctor is now easily available to anyone with access to a computer.

The One

My considerations are organized into three parts. In the first part I expand upon the influence of the Internet on our experience of space and time as well as our concept of personal identity. This takes place, on the one hand, in the example of text-based Internet services (IRC, MUDs, MOOs), and through the World Wide Web’s (WWW) graphical user-interface on the other. Interactivity, the constitution characteristic for the Internet, stands at the centre of this. In the second part I will show how the World Wide Web in particular sets in motion those semiotic demarcations customary until now. To this end I recapitulate, first of all, the way in which image, language and writing have been set in rela-tion to one another in the philosophical tradition. The multimedia hypertext-uality which characterizes the World Wide Web is then revealed against this background. In the third, and final, part I interpret the World Wide Web’s hypertextual structure as a mediative form of realization of a contemporary type of reason. This takes place on the basis of the philosophical concept of tranversality developed by the German philosopher Wolfgang Welsch.

The Gift

Beginning with the story of the advent of online crowdfunding, this chapter shows how audiences organized into participatory fandoms during the twentieth century. It defines fandom and shows its tensions between anticapitalism and consumerism. It traces the evolution of online fandom, beginning with BBSs and mailing lists through to the World Wide Web. The progression is illustrated in part through the author’s experiences as a young fan before the internet and as an older able to take advantage of online resources. It closes with the argument that by the time artists came to the internet with hopes of marketing their music, fans had already set the terms of engagement with the gift cultures they had established online.

Ambivalent Relationship

Legal historians have had an ambivalent relationship with new technology. As students and spokespersons of the somewhat-stodgy legal past, our sympathies have predictably been with traditional methods of doing things rather than with the latest and greatest devices of our own age. In the twentieth century we have tended to champion writing and books more than radio, television, and computers. Today we may use new tools to help us create our scholarship and even to help us teach, but like most of our academic colleagues in law and in history we generally employ those tools as extensions of established media instead of exploiting their potential to deploy information and develop ideas in new ways.

The Way

An English computer whizz invented the twenty-first century. This, of course, is a fantastic claim, but Tim Berners-Lee rightly gets credited for inventing the World Wide Web, which became operational in the 1990s, and which quickly began to shape the way people around the globe learn, communicate, trade, debate, are manipulated, scrutinised and entertained, fall in and out of love, reinvent their identities, engage in politics, and indulge their fantasies and sexual desires. Such a state of affairs might have seemed impossible, or indeed unthinkable, for much of the twentieth century, the stuff of science fiction, although another Englishman had proposed something similar in the late 1930s.

In October 1995, Takeshi Furuhashi and his collegues at the Bio-Electronics Laboratory of Nagoya University, Japan, organized the first of a series of on-line workshops, held entirely on the World Wide Web. The advertised advantages of the on-line format were to allow fruitful exchanges while avoiding physical travel, and to guarantee wide visibility of the discussion. The first two workshops in the series were devoted to evolutionary computation; they can be accessed on the web at http://www.bioele.nuee.nagoya-u.ac.jp. The third workshop, named “First On-Line Workshop on Soft Computing” (WSC1), had a broader scope, including all the techniques that go under the heading of “soft computing”, like fuzzy logic, neuro computing, genetic computing, and so on. WSC1 took place from August 19 to 30 1996, and it is accessible on the web at http://www.bioele.nuee.nagoya-u.ac.jp/wsc1/. Because the declared goal of an on-line workshop is to prompt discussion, the rules for submission were looser than in most traditional workshops: papers were not subject to peer review, and it was possible to submit already published papers. All the submitted papers were made visible on the web one week before the workshop, and people could send comments and questions by email during the two workshop weeks; all the questions, comments, and authors' replies are also visible at the WSC1 web site.
