- Technically speaking, the Net was "made" to be salve the paranoia of the
- US Military's concerns about a limited nuclear exchange taking out an odd
- research center or two, the Web was first put up by the CERN physics lab,
- neither team having any concern or desire about it's use by the public,
- all the rest is strictly an afterthought or more appropriately termed,
- hitchhiked.
-
-
- And I'll stand by that statement, Big Buisness is putting it's stamp on
- the commercial Web for one reason only, it expects more and more of those
- offliners to be onliners and a clear part of that thrust will be making
- the Web more user-friendly than now. Consider what that 90+% of Web
- actions are mouse actions, it comes to see that all that's really needed
- to acccess the Web is a souped-up verison of Sony's Magic Link, not
- Univac.
