20 years of AARNet video

AARNet, Australia’s academic and research network and the founder of the Internet in Australia, celebrated their 20th anniversary on 26 November 2009. As part of the launch event for a book commemorating the occasion (AARNet - 20 Years of the Internet in Australia), AARNet showed a fantastic video showcasing the use of the network across disciplines:

  • climate change
  • medicine
  • astronomy
  • high energy physics
  • schools

 

This short video shows inspirational and exciting examples of what is possible over networks like KAREN. It is definitely worth a look.....
