Forrester Research has a particular view of things, it's founder, George F. Colony, having this to say about the emerging internet back in 2000 A rather pessimistic attitude, given that it was opined as late as 2000. By then, the Internet had been going strong for a number of years, with more and more expansion of commercial and other web sites and so forth. Had it been said in 1994 or thereabouts, maybe... it would be a bit different. Back then, P2P had not yet really been envisioned, but most of the commercial entities were scared shitless about the Internet. The only real forward-thinker at that time might have been some people over at PBS, who compared items like email addresses simply in terms of phone numbers. In other words, communication via the Internet would (sooner or later) be as ubiquitous as the telephone. Sure there is going to be a lot of sharing. So what? That's the same thing people said about libraries way back when -- it'd lead to piracy and no one would buy books anymore -- or cassette tape. contend with an empowered and ever more liberated, unruly populace -- Empowered, liberated, of course.
