Week 4 Tutorial: Cyberpunk Timeline


I created my cyberpunk timeline using the material from Professor Stockwell's power point lecture.  I found these events to be most significant:

December 16, 1982:
Blade Runner is released, giving birth to Cyberpunk

November 1, 1983:
Bruce Bethke creates the term "cyberpunk" with a book titled the same; a short story titled "Cyberpunk" is published thus giving birth to the phrase

July 1, 1984:
William Gibson publishes book "Neuromancer" sparking Cyberpunk in to society

February 25, 1988:
"Wall Street" is released in 1987 (1988 in Australian cinemas); Wall Street elaborates on key ideas brought up in the book "Neuromancer"

January 1, 1992:
Highlander II - explores the realms and real world applications of Cyberpunk

I had trouble using the site provided in the tutorial.  I tried to make an account with Wrike numerous times, but the site never sent me an email with my login name and password so I had to just make one on my own.  I even emailed my concerns to Wrike but never heard back.
