[Web4lib] The Internet is a series of tubes

[K.G. Schneider]

I caught this July 1 post on Wired, by way of David Weinberger's JoHo the
Blog, and it's quite the reminder of the uphill battles we climb trying to
explain topics such as net neutrality when legislators think the Internet is
"a series of tubes." I blogged it, but thought the Web4Lib/PUBLIB crowds
shouldn't miss this.

Also don't mix the techno remix:

I did a beatnik/bongo-drum version in text, but since I have no bongo drum,
haven't podcast it. See my comment:

If you ever wondered if having an ALA Washington Office was a good
investment...maybe the single most important reason to join ALA... the
answer is clearly "yes."
