[liberationtech] Suggestions for a course

[S Vivek]

Hello all,

I recently joined Stanford University and I will be teaching a course with
Prof. Larry Diamond here shortly.  My course is entitled "Internet, public
action and development" and I will be dealing with a variety of ways in
which the Net can potentially enable/curtail/influence public action.  In
order to put things in perspective, I wish to provide students with
interesting news articles on radio, telephone an other communication
technologies at a time they were being developed.  The idea is to reflect
today's themes such as the internet being open, various forms of struggle to
control communication systems, etc.  I wanted to ask you all if there are
pieces that you found striking that I should recommend to my students.  It
would be a great pedagogical tool, and I would appreciate any suggestions
that you may have.

Thank you,

Warm regards

S Vivek
