A detailed chronology of communications technologies will be provided including print, telegraphy, telephony, radio, television, data communications and the Internet. Emphasis will be on how these technologies were funded and shaped by commercial and financial forces as well as by government and military support. It will also endeavor to specify the linkages between communications technologies and social concerns involving culture, economics, education and politics. Of particular interest for discussion will be the notion of 'public interest'.
