The people who built and maintained these dial-up bulletin board systems (BBSs) in the 1980s laid the groundwork for millions of others who would bring their lives online in the 1990s and beyond. From ham radio operators to HIV/AIDS activists, these modem enthusiasts developed novel forms of community moderation, governance, and commercialization. The Modem World tells an alternative origin story for social media, centered not in the office parks of Silicon Valley or the meeting rooms of military contractors, but rather on the online communities of hobbyists, activists, and entrepreneurs. Over time, countless social media platforms have appropriated the social and technical innovations of the BBS community. How can these untold stories from the internet's past inspire more inclusive visions of its future?"--Dust jacket. 650 0 $a Internet $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Online chat groups $x History. 650 0 $a Computer bulletin boards $x History. 650 0 $a Computer networks $x History. 650 0 $a Social media $x History. 650 6 $a Internet $x Aspect social. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 1 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20230602010630.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CA97B74A010A11EE9BD628C82BECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
