With our upcoming trip to the Santa Clara archives impending, we have been asked to create a question or idea we would like to look into in depth. What really sparks my interest was the digital archives. I think it will be fascinating to see the first student works in the digital archives, as it will be interesting for me to see what was being discussed around the time of the archives going digital. As a period of time, I would like to know what academia mentions of upcoming technologies, specifically the internet. This relates to my earlier blog post on technology and human intelligence, and will give me even more background in the subject.

Once I know the time frame I am researching, I could then pull up papers from the physical archives to see the internet naysayers papers,  which obviously would not have been submitted digitally.
