A historical contextualization of Plunet and the rise of automation

摘要

When Plunet originally started back in 2003, no one would have guessed where the journey of the once moderate but complex network administration service would lead them. It was at the height of Web 2.0, when smartphones and social media fostered a boost in digital communication. Allowing the exchange of unimaginable masses of information at a rapid speed, the impact of the Digital Revolution can even be compared to the effects that Gutenberg's printing press had, when it paved the way for "A New Technology [...] of Information," enabling the distribution of the newest findings in art, science, and philosophy.
