I urge all of you to read The Future of Ideas, by Lawrence Lessig, a Stanford Law Professor. The signature will give you some of the flavor.
His book, published last year, maintains that the freedom that developed with the Internet, a freedom that promised a world of creativity different from the past, has been lost. And even more will be lost unless we do something about it NOW. (Incidentally he mentions Apple often, not always favorably, and our beloved G3, frequently.) Paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Internet revolution has come and gone. It has created a tremendous burst of innovation...that now looks to have been mismanaged. The people who did the least to advance the new technologies seem most likely to control them. We are left not with the edge-controlled intelligence of the end-to-end network but with the central authoritarian control of the the likes of AOL Time Warner. --- Gordon Cook quoted in The Future of Ideas by Lawrence Lessig. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
