Bias On The Networks

The following biases about networks have often been evident,
sometimes for decades:

These biases lean heavily towards:

1.  Control
2.  Paper
3.  Markup
4.  Compressed Files
5.  Copyright
6.  Short Email
7.  Not Using the Delete Key
8.  Being Right (and Being Right the First Time)
9.  Bells And Whistles
10. Formality
11. The Here and Now
12. Graphic Storage versus ASCII Storage
13. Limited Distribution in General
