Computer-based communications technologies have revolutionized human experience. For example:* In our personal lives, we use them to arrange dates, and we reach out to distant loved ones as if they were next door* In business, tiers of management have been removed, and business cycles compressed from weeks to hours* In politics, oppressive dictatorships have toppledIn short, the impact has been remarkable, and breathtaking. Email initiated the revolution.The first emails were sent in the 1960s, and they're now ubiquitous. Along the way, other computer-based technologies have evolved to help people communicate, such as instant messaging, discussion groups, voice-over-IP, web conferencing, shared workspaces, wikis, and, most recently, social media. The roller-coaster innovations continue, exciting and unpredictable.Most of the early innovators are still alive, and the electronic record of the technologies' evolution is rich. We thus have a wonderful opportunity to record the development of digital communications for posterity.Even more exciting, the opportunity is unique and unparallelled. We can record the revolution in a way that wasn't possible with earlier innovations in human communications that shook the world, such as the book, the postal system, and the telephone.Hence The Museum of Email & Digital Communications, which records and interprets computer-based human communications technologies.
