Dr Domenico Vicinanza (GÉANT & Anglia Ruskin University) and Dr Genevieve Williams (University of Exeter) have used a process called data sonification to translate some of the key phrases used in that original 1989 paper into musical notes.
"The story of this piece starts with revolutionary, but simple and somehow magical development: beginning quietly, the piano plays a melody derived from the sonification of "A solution: Hypertext", the title of the key section of the paper where the fundamental idea underpinning the entire world wide web, linking documents together through network pointers, is introduced."
Listen to this paper now! Yep, that's right, you can listen to a paper.
