"The Commons of Information" by Lee FelsenStein

[S. A. Modena]

Dr. Dobb's Journal May 1993 starting on page 18.

The table of contents abstract reads: "Will tomorrow's computer networks
meet our commercial, social, and political interaction needs in the same
way as yesteryear's village commons or today's shopping malls?  One of the
true personal-computer pioneers looks back at how people and computers
interact, and explores what that means for the future."

One banner reads: "The Internet is totally out of control, impossible to
map accurately, and being used far beyond its original intentions. So far,
so good."  ;^)

Some might find the article interesting to read and think about, especially
if also read with the feature articles of the recent Time Magazine issue
featuring "The Information Highway."
