- These electronic documents are
referred to as ``hypermedia'' since they contain links to other documents
(text, sound, graphics, videos, programs, connections to other computers, etc)
within the document itself. It can be thought of as local information with
connections to a number of other documents on the network. This representation
is very similar to the representation of patterns in neural networks. For example
the top document that we have used in the presentation can be viewed as
node that is directly linked to ten other nodes, that are connected to 276
secondary nodes etc. (see fig. 1). Each access of this document can therefore
be interpreted as the activation of a large network of connected nodes.
A free copy of NCSA-Mosaic is available from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Mosaic.

- ``talk'' is a
standard Unix utility that allows realtime exchange of written text, i.e.
both parties can read and write directly onto each others' computer
screens. This allows fast and efficient feedback for the presenter without
disrupting the oral presentation.

- For that connection the average round-trip time
was
as compared to 
to Germany (dali.nlp.physik.th-darmstadt.de),
to South Africa (hiPPo.ru.ac.za), 
to Brasil
(uspif.tf.usp.br),
and 
for a connection to Korea (ns.kren.nm.kr).
(The tests were performed with the help of the Unix ``ping'' command on Tue
May 24 13:23:22 GMT-0600 1994,
these values change during the day and also considerably among sites in the
same country. For example on Tue May 31 00:58:40 GMT-0600 1994
we have fo rth esame sites South Africa: 760ms, Brasil (uspif.tf.usp.br disconnected but bee.uspnet.usp.br has a round-trp time of only 
),
Korea 863ms. We also connected to a server in Russia (elvis.msk.su)
with response times between
