My opinion is, technology has a marked effect on politics when... those who sell technology have a lot of money to influence politicians.

        Subject:        What is Larry up to now?

        This was the lead story in the  Boston Globe today:
        "The billionaire CEO of Oracle Corp. [Larry Ellison] is putting up
$150
        million to create an institute to study the effects of technology on
        politics and economics. But instead of cultivating a relationship
with a
        particular school, Ellicon has made the offer to both Harvard adn
Stanford
        universities - playing the academic titans off each other while he
waits for
        them to make their best offers."

        hmmm.

        The effects of technology on politics and economics is an
interesting topic
        if anyone wants to start a new thread on this (ep?).
