@BoingBoing @GreatDismal I'm still wondering if (in hindsight) 0he's wrong for the right reasons or right for the wrong ones.
@BoingBoing @GreatDismal and then google happened and we added it all to ours lives and dictionaries.
[...for the absence of search algorithms!] MT @BoingBoing Clifford Stoll's 'Why the Internet Will Fail' essay, 1995http://boingboing.net/2010/02/26/curmudgeony-essay-on.html …
@BoingBoing @GreatDismal Except the essay is actually called “Why the Web Won’t Be Nirvana” and makes some valid points.
@BoingBoing @GreatDismal Reminds me of Bob Metcalfe's [inventor of Ethernet] prediction: the Internet would suffer a "catastrophic collapse"
@yesthatkarim @BoingBoing @GreatDismal - Thanks, but my prediction nothing like Stoll's. Read my book INTERNET COLLAPSES, still at Amazon.
@BoingBoing @GreatDismal Reminds me of a Stephen King article I read in the '70s about why FM radio would never catch on.
@BoingBoing Predicting can be tough, and I understand the pessimism based on the web at the time. Curmudgeon or not, Cuckoo's Egg is great.
@BoingBoing I wish he had been vindicated, honestly.
@BoingBoing After 19+ years on the air Stoll remains the only person to explicitly insult @DVradio when rejecting an invite. Class act.
