Technology is opening up invisible worlds of information and communication, and Mappa Mundi Magazine explores how Invisible Worlds, Inc. and others are mapping these worlds and creating new metaphors locating mankind's place in the information age.
August 1999 An Internet Prayer Wheel by Carl Malamud.
When Jon Postel, the Editor of the Internet RFCs passed away,
I spent a long day thinking. I don't know why, but I immediately
thought of prayer wheels and explorers. Jon was the creator
and maintainer of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
While many people became rich and famous from the companies they founded,
it was Jon more than anyone who could lay title to creator
of the Internet.
