Internet's NASA

Internet's NASA

I am in Jakarta for a week to give a workshop in Electronic
Publishing, for Indonesian publishers, at the British Council.

Myra Sidharta's article The amusing and confusing technology
era (Sunday, March 30, 1997) reminded me of the first time I used
the World Wide Web on the Internet.

I wanted to see the NASA photographs of the comet Shoemaker-
Levy hitting Jupiter. I searched on NASA and found myself on the
home page of the North American Square-Dancing Association! The
wrong NASA, but a good example of the coverage of the Internet.
