In Memorium 1986

This is to herald the death of net.philosophy. Another counter-authoritarian
movement bites the dust. Massachusetts residents may call 489-4930 Citinet.
It is a free BBS experiment sponsored by AT&T and Vidtex. The central theme
of the network is to promote interactive communications and provide low cost
data transmission. The structure has been inspired by Fritjof Capra's book,
" The Turning Point ". A government forum takes responses from subscribers
and presents them to state and federal congress. The key emphasis is to
promote human involvement through communications technology. Net.philosophy
will not have died in vain.
