"...NCs would be outselling PCs also still has its humor..." ---------- Eric, I would posit that Ellison was correct in concept, though limited in scope and application. The network will be, I believe, the dominant force shaping culture and society. IT, Internet, broadband, and wireless pave the road to a future with sobering ramifications. A contemporary Nordic example involves the writing of speeding tickets. With the fine based on income, police can now check a driver's income on a wireless device when writing the ticket by the highway. Sobering. We will be utterly tied to the network. Wirelessly tapped into the network. Tied to our job through the network. Tied to our homes through the network. Tied to our cars through the network. Tied to our families through the network. Tied to our credit through the network. Tied to our appetites and pleasures through the network. Our locations established within feet. Drawn to instant access, instant gratification, instant security. Addictive to consumers, profitable for business, efficient for government. A wireless umbilical cord joining us to the collective. Orwellian. Inevitable. ben
