The Null Device
Europeans wrestle with
the question of
the Internet:
Parisian students burned their textbooks to protest the poor standard of
American online pornography, while in the UK, the Blair government faced
demonstrations after tax funds were poured into a futile government initiative
to translate the online edition of the New York Post into English...
workers from heavily-unionised German power plants threatened to strike
should the demand for electricity from Internet users increase the length of
their work week. In a hastily-convened summit, European trade ministers
moved to defuse the crisis by promising that the Internet would be strictly
rationed, so as to minimise disruption to state employees.
