Open systems—in particular, Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) and TCP/IP1—are all the rage. There are plenty of books that discuss OSI and plenty more that discuss TCP/IP. However, despite the facts that the architecture and goals of OSI and TCP/IP are essentially the same, and that they are really just currently popular manifestations of the same fun- damental principles and techniques, no previous book has examined the two in parallel. This book covers both Open Systems Interconnection and the Internet architecture and protocols, commonly known as TCP/IP. There are many compelling reasons for examining these architectures in parallel, which is what this book intends to do. TCP/IP Has Strongly Influenced the Design of OSI Many of the fea- tures and functions present in OSI trace their roots back to TCP/IP; for example, OSI’s transport protocol class 4 and connectionless network protocol (CLNP) are functionally equivalent to TCP and IP. Furthermore, OSI’s application services—Message Handling System, File Transfer Access and Management, the Directory, and Virtual Terminal—are all attempts to improve upon their TCP/IP ancestors; the OSI Message Handling System, for example, is intended to improve upon the highly successful electronic-mail facilities provided in the TCP/IP protocol suite by the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol by permitting facsimile, images, and voice to accompany text in a mail envelope. The OSI Message Handling 1. Transmission control protocol (TCP) and internet protocol (IP) are the core protocols of the Internet architecture. xiii xiv OPEN SYSTEMS NETWORKING: TCP/IP AND OSI System also provides a platform for Electronic Data Interchange and Of- fice Document Interchange, and the OSI Directory will provides a power- ful, object-oriented, global information base that can be accessed by humans as well as by distributed applications such as electronic mail and network file and resource management, building on services hitherto provided by TCP/IP applications such as FINGER, WHOIS,

  • The Telephone and Its Uses in 1980S U.S. Activism Today We Are Awash in Claims About the Transfor- Mative Effects of the Digital Revolution
    Journal of Interdisciplinary History, XLVIII:4 (Spring, 2018), 485–509. Barbara Keys The Telephone and Its Uses in 1980s U.S. Activism Today we are awash in claims about the transfor- mative effects of the digital revolution. Technology, we are told, is reshaping how we work, play, and live—even how our brains are wired. Smartphones and the internet have revolutionized society, commerce, and politics and even revolutionized revolutions, or so enthusiasts and detractors proclaim with equal conviction. Enthu- siasts argue that modern technologies enhance freedom and de- mocratize the flow of information, empowering movements such as Occupy Wall Street and the Arab Spring. Detractors coun- ter that social media and the internet foster “slactivism”—low-risk, low-effort commitments that achieve little other than to make users feel better.1 These claims rest on a weak understanding of communica- tions technologies in the pre-digital age. Before Facebook, the in- ternet, and mobile phones, political activists in many places during the second half of the twentieth century spread their message, re- cruited adherents, raised funds, and elicited action by using “tradi- tional” technologies, notably print and landline telephony. In Barbara Keys is Associate Professor of History, University of Melbourne. She is the author of Reclaiming American Virtue: The Human Rights Revolution of the 1970s (Cambridge, Mass., 2014).
