- madmaniak 7y agoAmazing.
- rbanffy 7y agoWe were more innocent at that time. I miss that.
- Aeolun 7y agoThey were good times. All the much better because we were convinced they would last.
- Ygg2 7y agoNot really. If I recall correctly, hackers like Phiber Optik and Acid Phreak were thinking Barlow was a corporate spy/shill. And in response published Barlow's credit record.
- rbanffy 7y agoWe should have seen through the optimism of the time. Humans are... messy.

- veridies 7y agoIt's funny; I taught both of these in a literature class for Korean exchange students. (I paired the Declaration with Barlow's song Estimated Prophet.) Fun topic to cover, but I think the students were too cool to feel like cyberspace was something really important to them.
