Universities and research institutes used to be at the forefront when it
comes to development of the fundamental technologies that power the
internet. As early as 1965, researchers at MIT developed a kind of
precursor to e-mail. In 1978, researchers at Berkeley leveraged the
already existing unix tool 'mail' (1971) to communicate over a larger
network. Universities and research institutes were among the first to
embrace this new way to communicate with peers across ever greater
distances and eventually, with the advent of the internet, all over the
globe.
I'm a rather dismayed to see those universities and institutes nowadays
no longer as pioneers and innovators in this area, but instead as mere
consumers of ready-made corporate solutions, following corporate
interests and centralising solutions.
