The Impact of the Internet

Nearly 90% of Americans have an Internet-linked computer at their work and/or home, which means two things. First, the Internet is deeply integrated into how we communicate and learn as a nation -- and planet. Does a computer for every student mean anything more than a computer for every student? Doesn't education depend upon personal interaction, not mousing around? And doesn't a reliance on high tech make teachers into computer technicians and troubleshooters? With over a billion  websites now available, there is something foreveryone, unfortunately.

Don't Try to Be Too Successful

The Business Trial of the Century has turned into "Groundhog Day" -- Microsoft vs Everybody, the DOJ, and outraged goat farmers slugged it out and then the EU tag-teamed and extracted another couple billion from Redmond, with email the primary evidence. (Delete those messages you don't want permanently!) Eventual results predictions? I can imagine the Supreme Court weighing the merits of the bundling a browser with an operating system. They haven't checked in with technology since TVs got remote controls. This thing just keeps continuing. Is there a betting pool somewhere on when it finally be completed?

But beware of overwhelming success -- some folks think it's illegal to be successful.  

Email me about this craziness!
