CPSR Journals (formerly The CPSR Newsletter)

The CPSR Journal is a highly regarded quarterly journal containing in-depth analysis of major issues involving technology. Starting with Winter 1999 The CPSR Journal is published online only. CPSR members receive timely notice of each new issue . Most past newsletters/journals are online (older ones mainly in plain text, newer ones in HTML). There is a subject index listing all articles going back to the first issue in 1983 until the late 90's Before the creation of PING! in July 2000, The CPSR Journal also contained CPSR news.

PING!

CPSR launched this publication in 2000 to better inform members, friends, and the press about CPSR news and activities. We have our fingers in many pies, and PING! will help us to understand our complexity and energy. We welcome contributions of news about CPSR groups and individual members. PING!s include News about Working Groups, Chapters, Board Initiatives, Newsletters, Conferences and Events, Contacts by the Press, and other work and representation of CPSR and its members.

We are planning publications of this postal mailing to members for August, November, February, and May. Deadlines for submissions of short content, including photos, to be considered will be August 1, November 1, February 1, and May 1. Send text submissions to cpsr@cpsr.org and attachments to cpsr@mindspring.com

Nurturing the Cybercommons:1981-2021

The CPSR Journal,19, 4 (Fall 2001)

CPSR Turns Twenty

The CPSR Journal, 19,3 (Summer 2001)

THE INTERNET

Cyber-Governance

The CPSR Newsletter, Guest editor: Karen Coyle, 16, 4 (Fall 1998), $5.00.

This issue of the CPSR Newsletter highlights and summarizes CPSR's 1998 Annual Conference, devoted to Internet Governance. We ask questions about the relationship of the Internet to government, government to democracy, and democracy to communications.

Cyber-Responsibilities

The CPSR Newsletter, Guest editors: Evelyn Pine and Jeff Johnson, 16, 3 (Summer 1998), $5.00.

Cyber-responsibilities -- For some denizens of cyberspace, the flip side of the cyber-rights issue is quite unnerving. Put simply, the idea of cyber-responsibilities bugs the hell out of some of our best friends and worthy colleagues in the technology-policy public-interest community. In our view, hostility to this topic grows from a heady mix of hacker ethic, free market fever, baby boom protest nostalgia, slacker attitude and generation X rebellion. Talk of cyber-responsibilities strikes some as group think, a call for government control, or blaming individuals for the sins of institutions. As CPSR stalwart, Terry Winograd puts it, "The central division among the CPSR membership concerns the individual's relationship with society. Is it dominated by questions of rights (the 'libertarian' view) or of responsibilities (the 'progressive' view)?"

Internet Governance

The CPSR Newsletter, Guest editor: Harry Hochheiser , 16, 2 (Spring 1998), $5.00.

As businesses and governments tackle questions of control over the Internet, several trends have become distressingly clear. These debates often lack significant discussion of societal issues and the needs of Internet end-users. Furthermore, the issues are often misunderstood and poorly reported. CPSR's "One Planet, One Net" focus is designed to address these concerns. By bringing attention to the issuse and their implications, and providing information that will help non-"techies" fight through the confusion of the 'Net, we hope to raise public awareness and understanding of the issues at stake. This newsletter contains a variety of perspectives on Internet Governance.

One Planet, One Net

The CPSR Newsletter, Guest editor: Nathaniel Borenstein,15, 4 (Fall 1997), $5.00.

This issue of the CPSR Newsletter summarizes CPSR's 1997 Annual Conference, and presents CPSR's Principles for the Internet Era,that can ensure that the Net will be used to change the human condition for the better, and can prevent or mitigate its less desirable consequences. For our global community to reach its potential in this networked world, the following principles must be understood and respected as we consider the more detailed daily questions that arise in the administration or governance of the Net.

1.There is only one Net.

2.The Net must be open and available to all.

3.People have the right to communicate.

4.People have the right to privacy.

5.People are the Net's stewards, not its owners.

6.No individuals, organizations, or governments should dominate the Net.

7.The Net should reflect human diversity, not homogenize it.

Telecommunications Policy Roundtable: Cutting Across Turfs to Change Public Policy

The CPSR Newsletter, Guest editor: Andy Oram, 15, 2 (Spring 1997). $5.00.

Computer scientists have been saying for years that computers and computer networks would merge with telephones and television, the other major media of our age. Now computer/telephone technology and multimedia have raised their heads, not only as a dazzling set of products that benefit end users, but as a complex regulatory and policy arena. Over the past four years, CPSR members have taken on a new field of technology (telecommunications) and mastered its principles enough to have an impact on public thought. This issue of the newsletter offers updates on major debates such as universal service and the effect of mergers on service and competition. We also look at the alliances CPSR has made with organizations and policy-makers to see that the public interest is heard during the battles between multibillion-dollar industries.

The CPSR Newsletter, Guest editor: Brennon Martin, 15, 3 (Summer 1997), $5.00.

This issue of the CPSR Newsletter is dedicated to the theme of the March DIAC-97 conference in Seattle. The articles examine various connections between physical community space and cyberspace -- the need to guarantee the existence of public spaces in the new commercial media channels; the use of these public cyberspaces to debate solutions to physical community-space problems; and three projects that use computer networks to address community problems.

COMPUTERS IN EDUCATION

Education Technology: A Tool for Change, A Focus for Organizing

The CPSR Newsletter, Guest editor: Netiva Caftori, 15, 1 (Winter 1997). $5.00.

Technology has invaded our schools in more than one way. Whether schools and teachers are ready to embrace it is a different issue. Those who have chosen to integrate it into their curriculum of study are not always doing so with much prior planning. It seems as if many children do more learning about technology outside of the school's boundary or at least the school's physical walls. Many students are now able to access educational centers through distance learning and on-line facilities. Virtual communities are thus able to be formed. Is the U.S. leading the way in educational technology?

Emerging Democratic Communities

The CPSR Newsletter, Guest editor: Erik Nilsson , 16, 1 (Winter 1998), $5.00.

Information-age democracies depend on technology. New, more responsive forms of governance are possible, but we become dependent on election technologies that sometimes fail. For over ten years, CPSR has conducted projects on the use of electoral computing. CPSR members have observed elections, investigated irregularities, contributed to standards documents, and been consultants to election commissions. This issue examines how technology has changed democracy. Four CPSR correspondents report on the changing technological face of democracy, from war-torn Africa to the Internet.

Strategic Computing: An Assessment

by Severo Ornstein, Brian Smith, and Lucy Suchman. June 1984, 5 pages, $5.

In 1983, DARPA launched a new "Strategic Computing Plan" with the express purpose of focusing research on specific military applications. The plan's suggestion that "artificial intelligence" would enable strategic nuclear weapons to be handled almost entirely by computer illustrates the serious consequences that could result if policymakers begin to depend upon technological fantasy.

Reliability and Responsibility: An Assessment

by Severo Ornstein and Lucy Suchman. Reprinted from Abacus. Fall 1985, 4 pages, $5.

Failure in critical systems can put human life at risk. As the military relies on computer systems, not only for data processing, but also for assistance in real-time decision making, the stakes can be enormous. When the consequences of malfunction assume greater proportions, the question of computer reliability becomes correspondingly more urgent.

The Star Wars Computer System

by Greg Nelson and David Redell. June 1985, 10 pages, $5.

It should be possible to reap the benefits of the computer revolution without taking irresponsible risks. But the balancing of risks and benefits is threatened by a general phenomenon in the world of computer systems: aspirations are rising faster than technology that is expected to fultill them. Nowhere is this more prevalent than in the design of computerized weapons systems.
