Quote of the day, from 1995: “The nature of information itself is changing….This is just the beginning….We are crossing a technology threshold that will forever change the way we learn, work, socialize and shop.  It will affect all of us and businesses of every type in ways far more pervasive that most people recognize.” -Bill Gates (Crains Detroit Business, January 2, 1995) [H/T 25iq]
