The Latest From George Gilder
from the telecosm-or-bust dept
George Gilder is always good for a funny futuristic quote or two. News.com is covering a talk he gave today. He complained that too many people showed up to the talk - showing that too many people are still interested in technology. He's still talking a lot about bandwidth, and how too much bandwidth can only be a good thing. He also was complaining that we need to "reconfigure the time-space grid for the New Economy" which certainly sounds interesting, if I only knew what it meant. Apparently, one of the quotes that people liked the best from him was that "The paperless office is as likely as the paperless bathroom." Just think how much people pay Gilder on a regular basis to hear such pearls of wisdom.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
