Information Management, 1998:

"Let's put absolutely every information resource on the planet, onto this newfangled Web thing. Everything that used to be a document or file folder or application, will just be a Page."

"That's great! Let's do it!"

"So, we did it. We put absolutely every information resource on the planet into a web page. Billions of 'em. We open hundreds, thousands at a time.

And browse them as a tiny ribbon at the top of one fullscreen window."

* Both choice A and B result in difficult consequences
