 # 4 - "On the net" in _Inside Indonesia_

         Since I'm in the middle of a move back to the U.S. from India, this update will be briefer 

   than previous ones. Is it because I have been privileged to enjoy the luxuries of laptops and 

   wifi during this period of living overseas that I have been reflecting on the changing forms of 

   communication between 'here' and 'there' in recent years? Whatever the reason, I think the 

   social and human dimensions of internet-facilitated communication have become increasingly  

   interesting in recent years.  What started for many as just a tool to access news and opinion 

   has become much more focused, sophisticated, and interactive.

         An illuminating way of seeing how much has changed in the last decade is to look at all 

   the "On the Net" columns in Inside Indonesia. They come at the end of the issue, under the 

   headings Regulars or Resources.

         To compile this list, first I went to the left sidebar on the Inside Indonesia home page 

    under Resources, then Topic Index, then Culture, then Resources, then Internet. That route 

    gave me sixteen articles, taking the list from its inception in March 1996 up to April 2000. 

    This original list provided the template for my updated list.  For the more recent issues, 

    I simply searched the Inside Indonesia archives for "On the Net".  The first thirty odd entries 

    all had "On the Net" in the title, which was what I was looking for, and the ones from the last 

    five years all had more specific titles than the earlier ones. Then I double-checked by 

    browsing the table of contents of the current and recent issues.

         So here is the list of thirty _Inside Indonesia_articles over the last decade on using the 

    internet for research on Indonesia:
