"But in the end, the force of what seems “obvious” to everyone else—the power of “common sense”—would prevail. Their “private interest” would not be allowed to defeat an obvious public gain."
Interestingly enough, this was said at the end of the Wright Brothers, but it has to do with out technology age today - Decades later.
Armstrong, what a strong man to be able to figure out electric induction. But weirdly enough, it only took him 100 years for a patent to be issued for the mist significant invention in history. The Radio!!!
The radio, only took TWO YEARS for thousands of them and stations to be all over America.
Today, it only takes a few HOURS for the latest iPhone to be distributed by MILLIONS across the WORLD. Damn
What a good guy to keep his wits about him with FM radio, cause nobody likes AM radio..? Unless you are in the middle of no where!!!
"this book is about an effect of the Internet beyond the Internet
itself: an effect upon how culture is made"
Even just amongst reading the introduction, this is a very informative book. ( I really enjoy books that say "I" and the author talks about themselves, it just seems to add a personalized touch.
Chapter one:
It all starts with one great idea one "Creator" that nobody really knows, or knows where it came from. Like Steamboat Willie to Mickey Mouse, it was "inspired" by mickey mouse. Therefore turned into "borrowing" we deal with this all the time as college students in the technology age of "stealing" information, or borrowing information it totally changes the concept of learning or being individual.
"The public domain in 1928 was not very old and was
therefore quite vibrant." (Page 24)
We today, are very IN with the times, and are very like a meh attitude.
