From an older post a reader comments:
Thank you for many of the points you have raised, can I remind you that the internet is a resource which represents the culmination of much of the combined knowledge of the educated and not so educated world to date, far greater is it, in truth, than any other reference source, any countries library references, any encyclopedia, any persons knowledge, if it exists and human society continues it will infact contain all of these aspects, for as you think of something it does not contain you are then in a situation to post it, probably, and if you are not you can find out how to. The other true marvel of this is the amazing fact that whilst relatively cheap power exist and given the efficiency of the resource, it can run from batteries for crying out loud, then it is a fantastically cheap resource too, I apologise for the arrogance of sitting here with a $1,800 dollar laptop, a significantly stable 56k connection and a larder of food, watching a program oconsiderring Adam abd Eve's Tomb in Iraq. but point out the amazement I found when young on seeing the first light emitting diode calculator, at that time an item of great technoligical advancement of about the same price of an entry level computer to the internet now and I'm only 32 in a week.
The point of this being that I searched for and am totally in support of, though not sure what will become of, the internet.
my search was for the baghdad internet cafe.
Why hear it second hand if you're interested.
