被遗忘的一段想象:现代互联网思想的启蒙

A Forgotten Imagination:Enlightenment of Modern Network Ideas

纵观现代互联网思想的形成,世界知识联盟的想象、人机关系的重建、传输控制协议的发现,成为它走向成熟的三次重要飞跃。第一次飞跃点燃了人类对世界信息网络的想象,为互联网的出现做好了思想准备;第二次飞跃引导人们对人类与电脑的关系进行了重新反思,并激发后来者不断探索赛博空间的各种可能;第三次飞跃成功地发现了电脑之间的合作方式,为"世界知识联盟""人机共生"的想象变成现实提供了可能。从1932年威尔斯提出"世界脑计划"到1969年阿帕网出现,现代互联网思想的启蒙和形成经历了战争,也遭遇了冷战,却从未放弃过对信息自由和世界和平的追求。

Throughout the developing process of internet ideas, the imagination of Global Knowledge Alliance, the reconstruction of human-machine relationship, and the discovery of TCP are three important leaps for maturity of internet ideas. The first leap stimulated human＇s imagination for global information network, which set the stage for the emer- gence of internet theoretically. The second leap encouraged people to reconsider the relationship between human and com- puters, and inspired the followers to discover continuously all kinds of possibilities in cyber space. The third leap succee- ded in discovering the connecting methods of computers, which provided opportunities for ＂Global Knowledge Alliance＂ and ＂human-machine symbiosis＂ to become true. From 1932 when Wells put forward ＂Global Brain Plan＂ to 1969 when ARPA net came into being, modern network ideas went through wars as well as cold wars, but seeking free markets of information and world peace had never been given up.
