Back to the Frontier. In the online article Back to the Frontier, Newsweek writer Steven Levy gives his account of what happened at PC Forum 2002. Levy’s description of the impact the effect that Wi-Fi and weblogs have is pretty accurate. It is amazing how new ways of online communication does not alienate people but actually bring them more together, enhance interaction, create a richer dialog and so on. Levy’s account of general Wesley Clark’s key note speech is, however, not a very good representation of the reaction from many - at least almost all non-American - listeners in the audience. His speech was a flagrant example of the old-fashioned americo-centric perception of the world as a place where only American ideas should prevail. Stupid, in my honest opinion. You would think that 9-11 had opened his eyes to other realities, but alas not.
