Just a collection of observations, however trivial...

One thing I've noticed is that while we are having this movement to extend the
net to just about everywhere, how many people are currently on the net? A
couple hundred thousand, maybe? In a planet of 5 billion, that's a fairly small
percentage... The importance of extending the net eludes me a bit...

Here's a farfetched idea.. I'd like to see net access in every household
(although something a bit more secure than the current net) in America, and
have political debates and even voting over the computer.. Eliminate Congress,
and have a true democracy via computer. Someday, perhaps, assuming we don't
follow the current line toward Orwellian fascism...

Old phone exchanges: Yeah, in my naughty days, I had the privilege of living in
a #4 crossbar area.. I got to do all sorts of fun stuff that today's hacks just
don't get to do. I've since outgrown that...
