Nearly 80% of Americans have an Internet-linked computer at their work and/or home, which means two things.
First, the Internet is becoming deeply integrated into how we communicate and learn as a
nation. 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 300,000,000
websites now available, there is something for everyone, unfortunately.
• Taboos & Business Truths of the Web
Sell Software -- But Don't Be Too Successful!
In the aftermath of the Business Trial of the Century -- Microsoft vs Everybody, as Netscape, the DOJ,
and over 20 states slug it out, with E-mail the primary evidence. (Delete those messages
you don't want permanently!) Eventual results predictions? I can just 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 -- it's
illegal!
Email me
about this craziness!
