"Postmodernism is a change-or-be-changed world. The word is out: Reinvent yourself for the 21st century or die! Some would rather die than change."

Here’s an interesting little tidbit that I didn’t know: As early as 1994, the FCC had a rather stunning vision for the Internet. This is revealed by Reed Hundt in a statement posted on the CodeBlog:

…we specifically formed the view in 1994 that the Internet ought to replace broadcast television as the common medium for Americans to communicate.

This is being fulfilled before our eyes, and why are we shocked?
