Re: Reboot:Relevance

This slide to apparent irrelevance has been voiced over and over for years.

You bring up some valid points. But who can say what makes this and the 
other things irrelevant.

Think of the first peer to peer design, then came the client server 
model. Will peer to peer be important again?

Look at questions about safe computing. Is the key asking the right 
questions?  Not just designating conclusions?

Who was it who asked: Can you have democracy if someone can know 
everything you are reading? Was it the same law firm who has defended 
free software the drives our economy now?

I see a world full of individual problem solvers solving the worlds 
problems with collaboration. What is the business model for that?

Is my question irrelevant? Maybe, maybe not. People will somehow decide 
this, no matter who is correct.

Can multiple people be correct at the same time? Is this a key to 
tolerance? Sure glad I do NOT have all the answers:)
