Re:Gutenberg and www

Dear All,

There is a consideration on the computer economy restricted an orientation
towards storing files into computer as Licklider noticed (1960).

Meanwhile it is an analysis based on Moore"s Laws which made Steven
Pemberton rised such an enthusiasm toward electronic publication --and the
internet of things in general. He said about the possibility of optimizing
choices based on the analysis which are about computers having been getting
smaller, cheaper and more powerfull at the same time.

The analysis may be found, amonv others, at:
"XML Interface toward the Internet of Things" (2015)
