A public network developed by Canadian Heritage as a virtual space for Canadians to connect in dialogue about Canada’s theme at Expo 2005, Wisdom of Diversity, and other themes related to Expo 2005.

OBS

At the heart of the Interactive Network is a synthesis of technologies that connect the Canada Pavilion, Cyber Explorer modules in Canada and Japan and home-based Internet users. There are two main entry points to the Interactive Network : 1. Cyber Explorer stations both in Canada Pavilion and in participating Canadian museums. 2. Internet connections(Schools and home users). Through these access points, users can explore virtually the Canadian landscape and witness the flow of ideas, images and stories. The Canada I-Net also employs live video feeds connecting Canadian locations with Japan and contains a virtual 3D world called "Virtual Canada". The results is an international dialogue on Canada poised to break traditional communication barriers.

OBS

Le cœur du Réseau interactif est une synthèse de technologies qui relient le pavillon du Canada, les modules des explorateurs virtuels entre le Canada et le Japon, et les foyers des internautes. Les deux principaux points d'accès au Réseau interactif sont : 1. Les stations d'explorateurs virtuels installés au pavillon du Canada et dans les musées canadiens participants. 2. Les branchements Internet (dans les écoles et à la maison). Les usagers pourront, par l'intermédiaire de ces points d'accès, explorer virtuellement le territoire canadien et suivre les courants d'idées, les images et l'histoire. Le Réseau-I Canada fait appel à des liens vidéos en direct pour relier différents endroits du Canada et le Japon et comprend le «Canada virtuel», un monde tridimensionnel. Le résultat de cette technologie est dialogue international sur le Canada au-delà des barrières de la communication traditionnelle.

  • General Vocabulary
  • Electronic Music
CONT

What you need in order to access on-line music distribution services : To get to the Internet Underground Music Archive(IUMA) RockNet, Kaleidospace and metaverse. com, you’ll be best off with full Internet access, and a sound card that gives your computer audio-capability, unless you own a Macintosh, which already has sound capacity built in. If you have full Internet access, connect to the World Wide Web(WWW). The quickest way to each service is to use your favorite WWW browser. With the more-powerful Mosaic browser, you can listen to the music on-line, but you need a very powerful computer. Point you browser at the following Universal Resource Locators(URL) : IUMA, RockNet, Kaleisdospace, metaverse. com. The home page of each site usually has a how-to guide. If your system doesn’t allow WWW access, but lets you use gopher(like Concordia University's Pavo system), go to your main command prompt, and type in gopher URI. for site. Once at the site, you will have to download the sound files to your Internet system, or directly to your PC(assuming you use a terminal server.)

OBS

Yet there are limits to the technology as it now exists. Even with a high-speed modem and the necessary sound card, a three- or four-minute song can take anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours to download. It can also use up a large amount of computer storage space.

The heart of the cyberrevolution remains, of course, the personal computer. Cheaper, faster, more versatile and easier-to-use PCs are infiltrating the social fabric. Software like Mosaic and Netscape has made navigating the Internet a lot less daunting for average citizens.... The modern, well-wired home already offers its occupants a head-spinning array of computer-borne activities. Children use CD-ROMs to play games and hear music. Teenagers flock to online services not only to "chat", but also to reach primary school work sources... Adults have access to instant stock-market quotes, to online versions of magazines and to "clubs" where people gather to discuss astronomy, genealogy or bicycling.
