Anyone with a personal computer and a modem can easily and cheaply gain access to the Internet, a global web of thousands of computer networks."<BR/><BR/>"The Internet has been widely hailed as a here-and-now precursor to the interactive 500-channel cable television systems of the future. But the information highway metaphor is proving all too literal, as traffic jams become increasingly common. Although service providers charge usage fees for the telephone lines that connect individuals to the Internet, most of the on-line information is free for the taking. As a result, highly prized digital information that has been freely available to any and all -- like free software, National Weather Service satellite photos and on-line searches of the Library of Congress catalogue -- is now sometimes inaccessible to almost everyone as a clamoring horde overwhelms the computer data bases."Drew Thalerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01081923007415869973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898615.post-80870799382367815432007-09-19T17:04:00.000-04:002007-09-19T17:04:00.000-04:00Now that the New York Times is opening up its arch...Now that the New York Times is opening up its archives, here's a humorous look back at 1993.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE1D6113FF93BA35751C1A965958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all" REL="nofollow">BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY; A Free and Simple Computer Link</A><BR/><BR/>"Since its introduction earlier this year, the program, called Mosaic, has grown so popular that its use is causing data traffic jams on the Internet.
