Dr. T. Matthew Ciolek, head of the Internet Publications Bureau of the Research School of Asian and Pacific Studies at the Australian National University, has recently added another excellent reference tool to his collection of online information resources. The Global Networking: a Timeline chronicles -- from 30,000 BCE to the present -- the technical, conceptual, and organizational developments in communications technology as well as important advancements in information storage and retrieval. From cave paintings to Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channels, this chronology briefly notes the technological milestones that have culminated in a global communications network. Ciolek cites references for each date in the timeline and includes an extensive bibliography of sources on-site.
