It's also big business here on the internet. Think about it. You can get free email, free home pages, free software. These days you can even get free source code to the software. You can get free news, free stock quotes, free advertising, and a free education.
People give all that stuff away, and they're raking in the money.
The more I think about the internet, the more I'm beginning to realize that for me, anyway, it's a great tool for personal transformation. That means you can do anything. I'm finding more and more that internet culture goes hand in hand with my ideas about success. I like to wonder what'll happen when we come up with a global to-do list for the human race. What'll happen when we provide a forum for people to contribute to the effort in any way they can any time they want.
