I found a really good speaker for my Documentary “The history of the internet”.
His name is Steve Taylor and on his website you can get some impressions of his voice.

I allready got the recordings and I´m very very happy with it.

All Icons will be released under the creative commons license.

For all of you don´t knowing what this is, can watch the infovideo “Wanna work together” by creative commons.

“It´s a storage medium, where people saved files on.”
Maybe people talk like this in a few years. The floppy disk isn´t used anymore.
But its shape is still used to symbolize the procedure of saving files.

I thought this would be an easy icon to design, but it wasn´t and still isn´t.
Now I´ve made two alternatives. So, this is an Request for Comment.
I looking forward for your opinions.

Just one thing. The first icon is also used for download. But in fact downloading and saving is quite the same process.

On October the 4th in 1957, during the Cold War, the Soviet Union sent the first unmanned satellite to space. As response to that the United States commisioned the Advanced Research Project Agency or DARPA. To prevent further surprises like the launch of the Sputnik the DARPA has to build up a research network to speed up research. This network will be the ARPANET and later the Internet.

One part out of the animated documentary about the “history of the Internet” I will start soon.

If you don´t believe that and also are sceptical on globe icons representing the internet you can download the PICOL internet icon.
