My CACM April 1 piece from 1999: "Just a Matter of Bandwidth"
With Communications of the ACM just announcing that it is fully
open access (excellent), I thought I'd note an item of mine from there
written almost a quarter century ago. Over the years I've authored
and co-authored various essays that were published in CACM, ranging
from serious to ... not serious. In the latter category, I wrote a number
of April Fools' day columns, which some readers unexpectedly apparently
thought were serious. Fascinating.
This is my personal favorite of those April columns, discussing the
prospects and problems with matter transmission/teleportation:
