Internet Cafe's

by Marc 26. August 2008 12:44

So here's a blast from the past. Walking down Oxford street I remember seeing an "EasyInternet" opening up. Regardless of the pricing model (Stelios has some some interesting ways of doing things) I was pretty adament that it wasn't going to fly. "Home internet is so cheap, who'd bother?" I asked myself.

A couple of months later I was walking past the same shop to see them queuing outside the door.  And several years later the concept of the "Internet cafe" is well established - in fact I've used them myself to catch up on email while travelling.

Which is the reason that Stelios is a multi-millionaire and I'm not!

What's this site all about?

As the first post on the site says, really this is a place for me to record predictions or comments on news I see. They're mostly going to be technology related since that's the world I move in but if anything else strikes me I'll drop it in for good measure.

So who am I? Well I'm not a Futurologist (yet!). Just a working software developer with an interest in the world around me.
