Quote from Robert Cailliau

It's an awesome feeling to understand someone's perspective.

2010-03-24

Full circle:  first there were a few weird people who owned a computer and the rest of the population did not understand.  Then the web came, and everyone had to have a computer to surf.  Now the tablet (iPad?) arrives, and everyone will jump onto that, leave their data on servers in the "cloud" and blissfully walk the streets being guided by location-dependent advertising.  There will still be a few weird people who stick to owning a computer and the rest of the population will not understand.  And I will again be one of the few, because I want control over my data and I refuse to be tethered from a commercial leash like a dog.

Respectfully quoted from the blog of Robert Cailliau.
