    I've heard about him before. I believe most of his work got destroyed, and he was never all that well known during his time. It's really now that we have what he described in place that we realize he was correct. Creepy.

    Interesting.. I never knew the concept of computers went so far back.

    And for some reason every post I make has to be checked by a moderator?

    umm, that system would be awkward. Having to phone in your facebook comments and pornography requests.

    @buz

    How does that relate with the video "Paul Otlet's Vision?"

    And further more, why did you say Sarah Palin FIRST ;)
