13. Emerging Gigabits

14. Very Human...
- http://www.3w.com/3W/index.html -- The Internet with a Human Face
I had no luck with this URL, all I could find was a telling description of the website on
links.net:
"billing itself both as the Internet with Attitude and the Internet with a Human Face, this site is primarily promo pages for the print magazine. There is a brief synopsis of each of their issues, along with one article from each. Lots of info about ordering various things is available, however. The schitzophrenia of their Internet mission is reflected by their refusal to replicate their content online. Some people are still desparately clinging to copyright, or something, I guess."
15. Scientific Visualization Going Online
- http://www.ccsf.caltech.edu/ismap/image.html-- XMorphia
Hail to Teh Internet Archive: the website on the
Morphogenesis from a Reaction-Diffusion System is available again, along with the links to images and videos that demonstrate the process of morphogenesis.
16. The World's Most Exciting Electronic Exposition
The
"World's most exciting electronic exposition" is still can be visited for free on the link provided by Alan Lasky. In fact it is an extensive information source on topics like the Vatican Library, hitherto highly secret internal documents from the Soviet Communist era, the conquest of America, the Dead See scrolls, paleontology and the palace of Diocletian at Split (Croatia).

According to the
Free Online Library,
