ancient institution from your 50s / 60s school days remains,
unchanged, amid the splendour of its beautiful if dingy old digs --

Note:
There are _so_ many online resources, now, for information about
the information revolution...
In the apparent absence of any sensible criteria, much less
procedures, for separating wheat from chaff, there is a great
deal of irrelevant and mis-information, online, as well.
It rarely is a good idea to consult "fans", for objective views
of the object of their adorations: convinced internauts for views
about the Internet, people who are online for opinions about
online access, and so on. Such discussions become circular and
self-perpetuating, and self-congratulating, very quickly -- as
the Howard Dean Campaign discovered, too late and fatally, during
the current US Presidential election race.
So, printed books... One virtue of using the old media, to
discuss the new, is that one reaches people who are not yet
"fans". Reading and researching the above entries, then, a
student is more likely to discover dissenting views, than in the
now-multitudinous chat and econference and ejournal resources
online. "Household penetration" rates are not 100% yet, even in
the very-wired USA, much less in Europe, and not at all in most
of the rest of the world. Most "out there" who research still do
so in print.
One day the Internet may indeed be invisible and omnipresent --
like television -- and on that day all objectivity about The Nets
may be lost, as it has been for television... Maybe it's to the
Internet's advantage, then, that so far it is only a partial
success: by reading a few printed books about it -- now, while it
is not yet "everywhere" and before it is too late -- perhaps we
still can spot the pitfalls and correct the hidden dangers.
I wouldn't want to wake up, in a few years, to an entirely-wired
world and a digital information life which was not properly
"examined" during its construction -- "the unexamined life is not
worth living", it is said, and that definitely is my view of the
television world. We still have time to make the Internet world
something better, I believe. But we'll only do that by getting
outside of it and seeing it whole, while we still can. Read books.
