You know, a while back, I used to read PC Magazine. There was this shelf of back issues, dating back to the 1980s, when Al Gore was a senator.
A column by John C. Dvorak, one of the most popular columnists in the field, rambled, "Senator Gore intends to make this giganto data network. How is he going to turn all that text into data? Hand scanners?" He went on about how it was a dumb idea that wouldn't work and that this was the result when uninitiated politicians tried to get involved in the world of tech.
Amusingly, the man is still a well-paid columnist.
I'm going to the campus library today. I'll see if I can get you a direct citation from a back issue.
you know where i bet you could find a direct citation faster?
the internet.
and you won't even have to use your hand scanner.
