Compare this to a newspaper: it is much easier to store back
issues of a paper in the Internet than physically. Obviously,
it is much easier to search and the amortization of such a
copy is annulled. Such an archive will let the user search by
word, by key phrase, by contents, search the bibliography and
hop to other parts of the archive or to other territories in
the Internet using hyperlinks.
Money, Again
We have already mentioned SET, the safety standard. This will
facilitate credit card transactions over the Net. These are
safe transactions even today - but there an ingrained interest
to say otherwise. Newspapers are afraid that advertising
budgets will migrate to the Web. Television harbours the same
fears. More commerce on the Net - means more advertising
dollars diverted from established media. Too many feel unhappy
when confronted with this inevitability. They spread lies
which feed off the ignorance about how safe paying with credit
cards on the Net is. Safety standards will terminate this
propaganda and transform the Internet into a commercial
medium.
