Mythologies of control (Dec 16 2003 13:58 GMT) - Ed Felten observes that the Net's connection to the physical world makes it unlikely to become a tool for total control by companies or governments: "[A] locked-down Net can't really happen, at least not here in the free world.

"For the first two years, the biggest problem we had was soldiers fleeing the field of battle," Taylor said. "We could not make their computers stupid enough to not run away." Link(Thanks, Yoz! |
