Every community, from really big ones to really small ones, will have a nice collection. It will be indexed. There will be ways of accessing it and correlating it. So what you’ll begin to see is that there really will be the Interspace …This will be where people live … Just like television became ubiquitous – the Net is the world of 10 years from now … The vision of the pioneers was always education not entertainment – the Net should become the way that ordinary people can solve their problems. This new research technology might be the way toward that vision, toward the Interspace.
Predictor: Schatz, Bruce R.
Prediction, in context:Bruce Schatz, the principal investigator on the NSF/ARPA/NASA-funded Digital Libraries project at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, delivers the keynote lecture at the American Society for Information Science’s annual meeting, in Chicago Oct. 11, 1995. He says: ”But, what I have to say is that there will be a WorldNet, whether you like it or not. Every community, from really big ones to really small ones, will have a nice collection. It will be indexed. There will be ways of accessing it and correlating it. So what you’ll begin to see is that there really will be the Interspace…This will be where people live … Just like television became ubiquitous – the Net is the world of 10 years from now … The vision of the pioneers was always education not entertainment – the Net should become the way that ordinary people can solve their problems. This new research technology might be the way toward that vision, toward the Interspace.”
