We couldn&#8217;t have done it without great highspeed internet and great engineering on the MCNC\/NCREN side. A quote from 1994 by Michael Shoffner helps tie the article to Episode 3 (21 years later):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Internet isn&#8217;t just for email anymore. This statement is becoming increasingly true as the technology involved progresses and more resources are devoted to developing Net-based end-user applications. The Internet is ideal for wide-area transport of all sorts of data, especially when these data originate at a central source (server) and are distributed to many users (clients) on demand.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/media.arkansasonline.com\/static\/arkonline\/images\/AO_logo.png\" alt=\"Arkansas Online\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Just a few hours before, Brian Fanney published <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arkansasonline.com\/news\/2015\/mar\/06\/acxiom-data-tailor-ads-to-twitter-users\/\">a piece on Arkansas Online about a new alliance between Twitter and the all-knowing Acxiom Corp<\/a> in which I&#8217;m quoted saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This is about Acxiom understanding highly granular demographics. Data is good, but what they [Acxiom] are really smart about is getting to the granular level where they can predict behavior.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Facebook, Twitter&#8217;s chief rival, is about &#8220;presentation of self,&#8221; Jones said. Because Facebook asks what users like, how old they are, where they live and other personal information, it&#8217;s easy to target ads to users &#8212; even across many devices.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The hard part is &#8212; on Twitter &#8212; you have to get someone&#8217;s picture based on who they follow and what they post about,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Over time, you can derive a lot of information from that.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I think you can see the connections here. A movement from email, a history of a development that took us beyond email and the serious implications of the potential misuse of our newer communications technologies. <\/p>\n<p>Watch, read and enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hangout On Air with Luis Suarez and Claire Burge is now ready to be seen on YouTube as Episode 3 of Life w\/o eMail on Luis&#8217; channel. &#8220;If you gonna be the swimming coach, you need to get in the water&#8221; About the same time as the HOA, MCNC released this article about our [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-noemail","category-alumni-and-other-friends","post-preview"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4081"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4081\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4084,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4081\/revisions\/4084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pjones\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
