Help needed: History of 'Share'

by Christoph Engemann, posted on April 17, 2006 - 9:28am.

I am working on a small genealogy of sharing in the context of computers. Surprisingly there is very little literature on this phenomenon. The word 'share' has been prominent in the development of computers from early on: from IBMs 'Share' in 1955 over Timesharing and Shareware to file sharing today. I’d appreciate any help in finding literature and sources especially on the history of Shareware and file sharing.

Thx in advance!
