Out of the Ether

Came across a retrospective view on the development of Ethernet by Bob Metcalfe and associates at Xerox Parc in the 70s. For me, Ethernet was where I cut my teeth on technology. As a student in the Science Communications Masters program at Boston University in about 1982 I had to write a thesis in the form of a technology assessment and I chose, for some mere but serendipitous reasons [my friend and schoolmate Rich Mack suggested it], Ethernet. So this Economist story from last fall is of special interest. The Ether still seems to be a place that gets my attention.
