BBC h2g2. 16/Sept/1999
The BBC's h2g2 website is billed as "Earth Edition of The. Hitchhiker's 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! That's 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. It's 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 that's 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.
