A ground-breaking analysis of the impact of the then three-year old World Wide Web, The Wired Museum (1997) offered prescient predictions about the future of digital technology on the museum profession. Innovations in the Internet, the Web, and related applications had begun to affect the way we received and transmitted information of all kinds.
