Check out Liam Breck’s new blog. > “Next, the religion of The Network Is The Computer has indoctrinated the congregation to ignore an obvious issue with connectivity: We depend on PCs only because electricity is ubiquitous and reliable. If the power is out, you’ve usually got acts of god in progress, and little divine inspiration for work.” (from Web 2.5: Always-on-you Web 2.0 Tools) Welcome, Liam! Technorati Tags: web2.0
