The Scholarly Kitchen

I found this fascinating quote today:



John Senders was involved in the first experimental on-line journal. After the project was concluded, Senders reflected, “I have seen the future, and it doesn’t work.” This comment became the title of a speech he gave in 1980 at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Scholarly Publishing in Minneapolis, Minnesota. If anyone remembers this talk, please submit your recollections.Philip Davis under, The Scholarly Kitchen, May 2009



You should read the whole article.

My favorite part is really just the "I have seen the future and it doesn't work" quote. :-P
