Subject: A recent Posting
In a recent posting ( actually it was Vol. 10, No. 776) you listed and then
commented the following:
Companies are discovering that the Web is not very
profitable. "The safest place to be on the Web is independent," he writes.
Is this not good news?
I am not so sure.
While I am anything but a promoter of Fortune 500 companies, I also
recognize that they have the money and resources to push the creativity of
the Web as well as the incentive to make it more available to more people.
Surely it is busines that is pushing the use of the information resources in
education, rather than a vague "desire to know."
Without that investment, we could be simply looking at an expensive,
momentary toy for the information elite. What will the fad be next decade?
