    "Back in 1995, Clifford Stoll, PhD wrote an article for Newsweek about a emerging thing called the internet. According to him, it was going to go nowhere. It's almost humorous how wrong he was. Then there's cyberbusiness. We're promised instant catalog shopping-just point and click for great deals. We'll order airline tickets over the network, make restaurant reservations and negotiate sales contracts. Stores will become obsolete. So how come my local mall does more business in an afternoon than the entire Internet handles in a month? Even if there were a trustworthy way to send money over the Internet-which there isn't-the network is missing a most essential ingredient of capitalism: salespeople. Link "

  • Last week I had the privilege of meeting Adam Greenfield, author of Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing. It's one of my favorite books about the Internet of Things and is still ahead of the curve, even though it was written in 2005 and published in 2006. Greenfield was in my city Wellington for the week, so I sat down with him at a local cafe to get his views on the current state of Internet of Things and where it's headed.

  • What’s missing from this electronic wonderland? Human contact. Discount the fawning techno-burble about virtual communities. Computers and networks isolate us from one another. A network chat line is a limp substitute for meeting friends over coffee. No interactive multimedia display comes close to the excitement of a live concert. And who’d prefer cybersex to the real thing?

    Amazing... 1995 is just a few years ago

    Human contact is what it's all about!

  • One of the wonders of the Internet is that it can bring the world to you instead of you needing to find the time and money to explore the traditional way. Explore cities, famous landmarks and buildings, museums, college campuses, and even outer space. You can learn how things are made, explore the human body or that of a life-sized whale, and visit ball parks and theme parks. 100 Incredible And Educational Virtual Tours.

    Love this! This is going to be one of the ways forward as traditional universities lose their grip on student's imaginations!
