The Senator Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) Good stuff. I wonder how Clifford Stoll feels about his banal, incredibly short-sighted musings regarding the Internet, now that U.S. News & World Report Ceases Printing - to Become Online Only and now that the very magazine in which his article appeared is also ' no more ' ?

HopsGuy Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Then there's cyberbusiness. We're promised instant catalog shopping—just point and click for great deals. We'll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obselete.

Chef Jim Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 It's amazing how far we've come in a short time. However I still like my morning paper. Recently I've been having an issue with it coming in time for me to read it before work. But what I've been doing for the past couple of weeks is getting it right before I leave for work and I read it in the evening when I get home. I now can spend an hour or more reading it and I love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
