Designing an Internet by David D. Clark
Reviewed by: Designing an Internet by David D. Clark Douglas O'Reagan (bio) Designing an Internet. By David D. Clark. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2018. Pp. 432. Hardcover $32.95. Designing an Internet is an excellent, book-long case study in a key theme in the history of technology: the technologies we rely upon might well have evolved along different paths, and thinking through possible futures requires understanding the decisions (and assumptions…
The FinFET Breakthrough and Networks of Innovation in the Semiconductor Industry, 1980-2005: Applying Digital Tools to the History of Technology
The "FinFET" design for transistors, developed at the University of California, Berkeley, in the 1990s, represented a major leap forward in the semiconductor industry. Understanding its origins and importance requires deep knowledge of local factors, such as the relationships among the lab's principal investigators, students, staff, and the institution. It also requires understanding this lab within the broader network of relationships that compr…
Know-How in Postwar Business and Law
In the mid-twentieth century, businesses around the world began to see technical know-how as one of the most important assets they could possess. While their exact definitions of know-how varied (usually centering on employees' tacit knowledge; accumulated, minor innovations rather than just patentable inventions; and tailoring to local conditions), the rapidly growing perception that it was invaluable led to widespread know-how licensing. As bus…
French Scientific Exploitation and Technology Transfer from Germany in the Diplomatic Context of the Early Cold War
While most discussions of the international efforts at post-war exploitation of German science and technology by the Allied occupation powers assume similar methods and aims across the nations involved, the French case diverges in important ways because of a fundamentally different understanding of technology transfer. The Americans and British hoped to enlist the French in exploitation programmes similar to their own, and to an extent succeeded,…
