FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CPSR ANNOUNCES WEB SERVER WITH 60 NEW PAGES OF INFORMATION
Palo Alto, July 12, 1994. Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR) is pleased to announce the availability of its redesigned World-Wide Web (WWW) server, now with 60 new hypertext pages of timely and important information for Internet users and the general public. The CPSR Home Page can be found at URL: http://www.cpsr.org/home with hypertext browsers like Mosaic and Lynx.
WWW grew from the need of physicists at the European Particle Physics Laboratory (CERN) to communicate with pictures and text to colleagues around the world in hypertext, non-linear format. Since its beginning in 1989, WWW has allowed people to link their electronic documents and images to other documents on computers around the world. Estimates say there were, as of May 1994, over 4,500 hypertext Web server computers capable of linking documents on the 10,000 computer networks comprising the world-wide Internet.
CPSR's Web Pages cover issues related to the organization's mission to provide the public and policymakers with realistic assessments of the power, promise, and problems of information technology. These issues include the National Information Infrastructure, Civil Liberties and Privacy, Computers in the Workplace, Technology Policy and Human Needs, Gender and Minority Issues, Reliability and Risks of Computer-Based Systems and Community Networking. There are also links to many reports and other sources of information. All links are provided with descriptive narratives, and are not just lists of files. CPSR will continually update their pages to insure the accuracy and usefulness of this resource.
CPSR was founded in 1981 by a group of computer scientists concerned about the use of computers in nuclear weapons systems. CPSR has since grown into a national public-interest alliance of information technology professionals and other people. Currently, CPSR has 22 chapters in the U.S. and affiliations with similar groups worldwide. The National Office is in Palo Alto, California.
