The discusion of providing for "this country" a means to gain a leadership posi
sion in this world aside (I refuse to belive that in this would of instant acce
ss that the people using this network are considering a regression to feudal so
ciety) It seems apparent that inovation in one form of electronic presentation
will miss the mark. In Waldon Thoteau said "[t]he millions are awake enough fo
r physical labor; but only one in a million is awake enough for effective intel
lectual exertion," and with this in mind wouldn't it be more likely to help the
world economy to develop a new technology which would be instantly embraced by
the "sleeping millions?" Once our world is back on track the financing and pu
rsuit of research will also benefit.
