A seven minute history of the internet from Ethan Zuckerman. Zuckerman was a co-founder of Tripod.com, a web hosting enterprise, and later founder of Geekcorps. He currently serves as a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. His work at the Berkman Center has included research into global media attention, and the co-founding of Global Voices Online. He is also a contributing writer for Worldchanging.com. In January of this year, he joined the inaugural Wikimedia Foundation Advisory Board. I don't know about anyone else, but this is the first time I've heard anyone explain it in a way that's easy to comprehend.
