Having had a chance to sleep on the idea, it's appealing more and more to me, this trace of technology history, like a wave, since the birth of the personal computer. How about "E-Merging Technologies: The Waves of the Future"--in the spirit of Alvin Toffler's Second and Third Wave works, and be a play on words with the E-bit?
Any thoughts?
I still don't believe there's an advantage to fully developing the idea within a blog, however. That would be like handing over a book proposal to the public. That said, there are areas and positions ("premise" for the literary minded) that may be useful to "debate" here, however. So, let's give that a whirl.
My thoughts are the following. In the 1980s...
>Videotex, electronic bulletin boards, and Apple's hypertext blended into what became a precursor for the Internet
>AT&Ts videophone was the precursor to Skype
>Car phones and other types of modular phones were precursors to cell phones
Do you have to be a techie to appreciate this? It is about the human interface, after all.
