FROM MICHAEL H. GOLDHABER

• “The net requires no permissions, no groveling to authority, no editors to deal with - no one basically to say, ‘no don’t say that.’ As a result - far more has been said here publicly than has probably been said in a hundred years about issues that really matter."

• “For the first time in human history, each individual has the ability to determine what it finds important, rather than relying on the whims of those who controlled the printing presses. New communication technologies facilitate new ways of organizing information and of thinking."
