“1978: The First Computer Bulletin Board System, CBBS, Goes Online
Ward Christensen and Randy Suess develop the Computerized Bulletin Board System (CBBS) in Chicago. Opened to the public the following year, it is the first electronic message-posting network.
Christensen, a physicist by education and a mainframe programmer by profession, was an electronics hobbyist in his spare time. By the late 1970s he had become expert at programming computers to transfer files from one machine to another via modems and telephone line” (tmg-emedia, inc 1999-2007).

vice versa), the convergence of the internet and bulletin board technology may offer at least metrical relief in several areas” (Bern & Aboba 1993).
