BBC. h2g2 16/Sept/1999
The BBC's h2g2 website is billed as "Earth Edition of The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy!". Naturally, one. of its pages
is about me,. me, me. It starts off with the lines;
Every now and then something comes along which. makes you
think "Ah! That's what. the Internet is for!" Mike Corley
is. one such case.
The page itself can be found at. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A164404
The user comments linked. from h2g2 are less than respectful, but given the
point of view my website promulgates that is
understandable. It's true that without the communications ability afforded by
the internet, which came along. at just the
right time, my complaints would be getting nowhere. But that's a two edged
sword. also; miniature cameras only appeared
around 1990, so the. advantage of technology is up to the adopter. Secret
service intrigues, and on the other side of the
coin human paranoia, have both been going on for centuries; what changes now is
an increased. technologisation of both sides.
