Interesting..... Much as I love the internet - this "vision" of a
digital future is something I have always been concerned about. I
worried about it when the buzz was "pushing" custom-designed news via
email. Too much information? No problem - we will customize your
morning "paper" to contain only the news YOU want to hear. Next came
blogging - a terrific way to expand your access to news. But - who is
editing that information? And managing our news access can easily mean
narrowing that access. The internet with it's potential to exapand our
view and connect to the world, also has the potential to narrow our view
and isolate us from those that don't share our opinions. A lot of
people really hate Caleb Carr's book "Killing Time" - but this video
clip makes me realize that Carr's future vision might be pretty close to
the mark.
