Food for thought

"Today we are witnessing the early, turbulent days of a revolution as significant as any other in human history. A new medium of human communication is emerging, one that may prove to surpass all previous revolutions - the printing press, the telephone, the television - in its impact on our economic and social life. The computer is expanding from a tool for information management to a tool for communication... enabling a new economy based on the networking of human intelligence... For individuals, organizations, and societies that fall behind, punishment is swift."
