BBC h2g2. 16/Sept/1999

The BBC's h2g2. website is billed as "Earth Edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!". Naturally, one of its pages
is about me, me, me. It starts off. with the lines;

Every now and then something. comes along which makes you
think. "Ah! That's what the Internet is for!" Mike Corley
is one such. case.

The page itself can. be found at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A164404

The user comments linked from h2g2 are less than. respectful, but given the point of view my website promulgates that is
understandable. It's true that without. the communications ability afforded by the internet, which came along at just the
right time, my complaints would be getting nowhere. But. that's a two edged sword also; miniature cameras only appeared
around 1990, so the advantage of technology is up to the. adopter. Secret service intrigues, and on the other side of the
coin human paranoia, have both been going on for. centuries; what changes now is an increased technologisation of both sides.
