The Internet? Bah! Hype alert: Why cyberspace isn’t, and will never be, nirvana

“The truth in no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.” - Newsweek 1995 article.

This is brilliant. Classic stuff. Read the whole article!

Clifford Stoll: Why Web Won’t Be Nirvana - Newsweek

1995 and Newsweek predicts that the web won’t happen. It’s a pity they got it so wrong. Can I trust what they are writing today?

OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.
