Mike Uhl mentioned that "Future Shock" was published in 1970, and Mike said
that Toffler "never saw the Internet!"
True. I was suddenly struck by the timing, though. If the book was published
in 1970, than it was probably in-work in 1969. Isn't that the same year that
the DARPAnet (later known as the internet) was first turned on?
Funny how these things work out sometimes....
