Comments on Paul Otlet On The Internet (A Century Early)
Fascinating video describes how Otlet's work in the 1930's describes the functionality of the Internet. (Read
the complete story)
| "What seems to be a quote beneath the video frame needs to be quoted as to who said it. If this is someone you had write a little post, they are horrible at constructing complete sentences. If this is in fact a quote, reference it correctly. This is a very poorly formatted post." (Andrew Moyer 10/5/2009 5:28:05 PM) |
| "Andrew, I think it's pretty obvious that this is a quote from Hugo award-winning author Murray Leinster's short story; however, I did add a colon to the prior sentence intoducing the quote. The story is written in the first person by a blue-collar maintenance man. The indent shows that this is taken from the story. I've done about 2600 of these posts over the past six years, averaging at least 10,000 readers per day, and you're the first person to complain." (Bill Christensen 10/5/2009 6:48:10 PM) |
| "Its a block quote, formatted perfectly fine. My only complaint is that the video has been removed by YouTube...any chance you could point me in the right direction?" (Dan 4/20/2010 2:41:48 PM) |
