You know when you think about it, the idea of information mgmt through interconnectivity sounds like a no brainer. I am surprised that it did take 2 years for it to truly start to guage the interest of the public but on that note I’ll also say that I don’t find it hard to believe that the conception of the idea would have ever turned out to be what it has become today either. It’s hard to believe that it really has been 20+ years since it’s development. It’s hard to imagine life at this time without what we’ve come to know as the internet. Hair-Guy
