Cool Video - HyperLand

Abject Learning: Douglas Adams's 1990 BBC documentary on hypertext


Thanks to Brian for passing this 1990 movie along. Hyperland is a historical and futuristic film. Great for getting a perspective on how far the internet has come and where people thought it would go.

I have added a link for the Google Video site where the movie can be found in my class discussion site but also put a disclaimer regarding the screen name of the original poster of the video (which is offensive). I would hate for one of my teachers to open this in their class without looking at the site first...
