TIERE LOVER

BBC h2g2 16/Sept/1999

The BBCs h2g2 website is billed as "Earth Edition of The Hitchhikers 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! Thats 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. Its 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 thats 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.
