information technology.

HOLE IN THE CENTER. John Perry Barlow, co-founder of the Electronic
Frontier Foundation, says that one thing that is essential to community is
some sense of physical proximity, and that a problem with network
communities is that "all they've got is a shared interest, not a shared
necessity"; he makes the point that it's easy to drop out of network
discussion groups, but "not that easy for me to leave my little town in
Wyoming. There, we have to learn to stick it out and make it work." He
says that "if you look at the overall trend, not just in cyberspace but
everywhere, it's toward globalization and localization. What seems to be
coming apart is everything in the middle." (New York Times 12/26/93 F8)
