  • Stephen Kimber's History of the Internet In
    Kimber A Brief Shining Moment A Brief Shining Moment The History of the Internet in Nova Scotia By Stephen Kimber Stephen Kimber 2542 Elm Street Halifax, Nova Scotia B3L 2Y4 (902) 422-6884 Email: [email protected] 1 Kimber A Brief Shining Moment Prologue Mike Martineau is sitting in his office in Ottawa. I’m in my basement in Halifax. It’s late September 2011 and we’re talking face-to-face this afternoon, thanks to the magic of the Internet and our video-camera equipped computers. In 2011, of course, this is no big deal; it’s so commonplace, in fact, it has its own name— Skyping. But back in the late 1980s and early 1990s—which is the era Martineau and I are reminiscing about today—there was no such verb as “to Skype.” Or to Google, Facebook, or tweet. While it is more than just a stretch to suggest we do all those things today because of a fortuitous collision of people, events, ideas, circumstances and coincidences that came together back in Nova Scotia at that time, it is far from immodest or unreasonable to note that, for one brief, shining moment, Nova Scotia really was one of the centres of the fledgling Internet universe. “At one point,” Martineau recalls proudly, “Nova Scotia had the highest use of the Internet on a per capita basis in the world. We knew in our hearts we were doing something that was fundamentally game changing. This was going to change the world.” The world did change. And Nova Scotia did play its small part in changing it.
