This is a unique post by Lorcan Dempsey. You really have to go to his blog and see the visuals of the word clouds to understand what he is talking about and I can’t reproduce the clouds in a legible way here.

I was particularly struck by the word clouds. Here is a word cloud from a 1991 work on libraries and networks with special reference to the now long forgotten OSI suite of protocols.
