Hackers Hats
Description: This world often hidden from public view: the world of computer programmers and activists fighting to keep the internet free, uncensored, and safe to use. As more and more of our everyday activities occur online—from socializing to banking to political organizing—questions about who owns and controls online spaces are becoming increasingly central issues. Still, few of us actively think about these concerns when we open our browsers and update our Facebook statuses. we are introduced to the world of activists who are working on behalf of the rest of us, internet activists and hackers who actively question the rules of the online game.
Description: Getting internet connectivity from the telecom mega corporations and cable companies of the world as most do today is rather perfunctory, but during the ‘90s and even into the early 2000s, you could get internet service from countless ISP's. Due to the lack of infrastructure needed to provide dial-up access, literally anyone could launch an ISP and one such example came from a very unlikely source - DB. On Sept. 1, 1998, DB and the network services company UltraStar launched BowieNet in the United States with the rest of the world to follow. The design is just dripping with the techno design style of the era, so whether you're a DB fan, a hacker, or just a geek, this one should do it for you.
