We keep hearing about the net and the millions of new people using it every day, so why don't I ever run into any of them there? Current visions of the "National Information Infrastructure" make it sound like a big, vacant reference library. Instead, it should be more like a town, with many people interacting with each other as they go about their activities. I'll talk about our research into the design and construction of 'network places', including a discussion of Jupiter, our current system based around multimedia extensions to a MUD, and the Fabric, our vision for the next system, intended to scale to the size of the full Internet. |
