The article the economic impact of the internet quote came from wasn't a scholarly article or his normal column, it was a fun, let's make some provocative predictions type article.
- Torgo 10y agoHis normal column hasn't been much better, for years now.
- tps5 10y agoIt's a mystery to me how he's gotten away with handing in what amounts to the same column every week for the past couple years. Whether I agree with him or not, I find his haughty, didactic tone very off-putting.
- otaviokz 10y agoA "a fun, let's make some provocative predictions type article" sounds like something very unprofessional to me. Also there seems to be a suspicious pattern of claiming exactly that after such an embarrassing prediction is made. I doubt the same would be claimed if he had happened to be right about the internet and the information economy.

- ConceptJunkie 10y agoKnuth wasn't wrong. His potrzebie system is detailed and consistent. ;-)
