Welcome to the Future
At year's end, though the Internet has become seriously overloaded, business has yet to withdraw its support: Au contraire...
A number of new ventures seek to re-invent the Web as a high-volume mass medium:

  • CABLE MODEMS (TCI AND OTHERS)

  • "STREAMING" AUDIO AND VIDEO (POINTCAST, MARIMBA)

  • THE "NETWORK COMPUTER" STANDARD (SUN AND OTHERS)

  • (PHILLIPS, SONY)

These technologies inherit the highly centralized, minimally interactive, essentially monopolistic approach of traditional mass media.

Wouldn't you really rather have a wipe-out?
