On the History and Impact of Usenet and the Internet . The Net brings people together.
People connecting with other people can be powerful.
There is power in numbers. The Net has immeasurably increased the quality of my life. It is a lot more difficult to get information about Ireland than you would expect. It is also transmitted to about 2000 Irish people all over the first and third worlds. My use of the Net is to get in touch with more people around the world.
