For Internauts interested in the future of technology in general and of
the Internet in particular, two recently released web resources are a
must. Forbes ASAP
(discussed in the May 10, 1996 issue of the Scout Report) has recently
made "The Big Issue" available. The theme is "The Digital Revolution:
Why and Whither." The site is composed of 52 articles discussing history
and politics, private life, science and technology, and public life.
Contributors include Stephen Ambrose, Paul Johnson, Simon Schama,
William F. Buckley, Jr., Thomas Moore, Reynolds Price, David Berlinski,
Richard Leakey, Bill Gates, Tom Wolfe, Virginia Postrel, and Rosabeth
Moss Kanter, among many others. George Gilder also offers a large essay.
Australian Personal Computer Magazine (apcmag.com),
as the first installment in its "profiles" series, offers an in-depth
interview with Vinton Cerf, one of the inventors of TCP/IP and an
Internet pioneer. Topics of the interview include Internet II,
government's role in regulating the industry, IPv6, and censorship. [JS]
