Notes
Geoffrey Nunberg ("Virtual Rialto", National Public Radio, February 1995, p. 105) compares the Internet with the city Venice in February. "You thread your way down foggy streets and over bridges till you lose all sense of compass direction, and then all of a sudden you break into some glorious piazza. The rusty gate on the alley over there might open into a lush garden, and behind that might be al palazzo with long enfilades of rooms and galleries, but you can't see anything from the street. It's a place you get to know as an accumulation of paths and hidden passages, the way a woodsman knows the forest."
