Subject: fate of conventional media (was "Conner's Response")
Pardon me for jumping in (and perhaps
jumping out of) this thread, but I wanted
to add a few additional points here:
1. the price of microprocessors continues to plummet;
if you compare the clock speed of an obsolete 486,
to the bit rate of a fast modem, such a "slow" CPU has
no trouble whatsoever keeping up with the fast modem;
2. the price of fast modems also continues to fall,
although not quite as fast as processors;
3. the Internet is experiencing an unprecedented
amount of investment in software and hardware
development, quite independently of the broadcast
networks;
4. it is quite possible, and foreseeable, that the
Internet will soon compete favorably with the
standard broadcast media, for the attention
of the American People;
5. the spread of home personal computers is moving
faster than the spread of televisions, from
everything I can surmise; this trend shows no
signs of abating in the near-term (2-5 years);
6. if you want a stirring and inspirational view of
the Noosphere, as he called it, I have an electronic
copy of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's essay entitled
"The Formation of the Noosphere"; no one can read
and understand this essay, without having their
breath taken away;
7. the Noosphere is the membrane of thinking substance
which now surrounds planet earth; the Internet
is one essential component of this Noosphere;
our thinking brains are, of course, another essential
component; there are many others.
These trends tell me that our true political leverage
will succeed from encouraging, and teaching everyone
we contact, to get on the Internet, and to begin
exploiting the vast resources which are now available
there. When I say "vast" I mean to say that there
are AT LEAST 40 million websites now installed and
operational on the Internet, and you ain't seen
nuthin' yet!
