Fumbling the Future (FtF) is:
- Terrible! Imagine: you developed or owned certain technology; then someone else somehow took it over; then that tech took over the world.
- What Xerox did: developed technology for personal computing; then watched as the world was taken over by Microsoft and others.
- The title of a rather good book that describes what Xerox did and didn’t do.
Fumbling the Web (FtW) is a project similar to FtF. It poses questions such as:
- Who fumbled the web?
- How, why,…
I’ll explore these questions in subsequent posts. In the meantime, I really do recommend FtF.
