Gutenberg and www

Hello All,


As I made a post in Web History Community Page and still finded minutes ago
it status "Pending" then I decide to send it t public-webhistory@w3.org.
The post is below:


What is it about when we type “www” before “gutenberg”? The first is about
a contemporary information and communication technology manifested by the
internet; while the latter reminds us about a printing technology –as
something coming from 15 century (for a reference to “Gutenberg”
http://newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Johannes_Gutenberg/).

Michael Hart himself did not mention about the origin of the name usage
–“gutenberg”– at least in his presentation on the history and philosophy of
Project Gutenberg (http://gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:The_History_and_
Philosophy_of_Project_Gutenberg_by_Michael_Hart/).

On both we may talk about text productions. Thus we find www.gutenberg.org as
a historical situation of technologies. What should we name it…? — could we
say about a poetry on technologies for the allusions it made…?



Regard,


Guntur Wiseno Putra
