“Communication used to be about telling stories, about listening to narratives of discovery, learning, redemption, and war. Not just little stories, but big stories: heaven, hell, utopia. Relatively recently, though, the map has started to replace the story as our fundamental way of knowing. The new emphasis on spatial rather than temporal or historical concerns goes by a number of titles — postcapitalism, networked workplaces, nonhierarchical management — but the most popular (and often misunderstood) is postmodernism.”

“How would you interactively browse a very large display space, for example, a street map of the entire United States? The traditional solution is zoom and pan. …When changing locations, sequential applications of the zoom-in and zoom-out operations may become tedious. This paper proposes an alternative technique, the macroscope, based on zooming and panning in multiple translucent layers. A macroscope display should comfortably permit browsing continuously on a single image, or set of images in multiple resolutions, on a scale of at least 1 to 10,000.”

“The Wapalizer — By using this WAP browser you will be able to see what kind of services are offered today, and you can quickly find out if the service offered, is something for you. The WAP browser is still not bug free, and it may not ever be. The script fetches pages from WAP sites, and converts them to HTML (WEB pages) ‘on-the-fly.’ This means that you will be able to view most WAP pages, but some pages, especially those with a lot of input forms are very difficult to convert to HTML.”

“Web forms can be a necessary evil. An integral component in many a web site, they are tedious and often time-consuming to code. In this article, we will take a look at HTML forms, identify their shortcomings and discover that by judicious use of XML, it is possible to build form-handlers of virtually unlimited sophistication.”
