"Many did, and by the 1970s the fruits of their experimentation looked less like the Hush-A-Phone and more like the internet, which began, after all, as nothing more than "foreign attachments" — computers — using phone lines to exchange data."Umm... This guy is an idiot. That's not how the internet started at all. The rest of the article is just as bad, too... How did this get to the front page?
pictures of little furry animals in characteristically human situations, with ambiguous memes in bold, poorly designed typefaces are killing the internet.
Moreover, I don't see what's so inflammatory about Zittrain's conclusions. It doesn't make sense to me to be against the ability to tinker with a device that you own. If you don't want to play with something, don't. But why the hell would you be against having the ability to make something new?
