Net gains
Quote: "First came information, then opinion. The Internet's next step may be electing a president"
Comment: The author explores the growing clout of the Internet as a source of information (an alternative to consoliation in existing media). I agree with the potential being expressed...but I have to realize that not everyone lives and breathes the Internet (people who do, sometimes overlook this). I have acquaintances who don't have email. The Internet, as big as it is, still has a fringe element to it.
