To What Extent Would We Succeed?
How much of a dream landscape is this future scenario I have given above. How many of the scholarly
opinions and ideas in the literature ever really come close to the realities which emerge over time. The
gap is perhaps as wide as that between the possible and the probable, between what is actually locally
achievable and what might be achieved if only…So how realistic is this digital future? It is probably as
realistic, partially as we wish it to be and as we may invest in making it so, partially as much as external
forces impose it upon us by reducing our choice options, by demanding newly established technological
standards common in society in general, by making it the most responsible budgetary choice.
