Quote 237 of 497

Relying on journalists and stock-market professionals for one's view
of the Internet's future is like relying on a referendum of sugared-up
11-year-olds for an assessment of the Jolly Rancher and Pokemon
industries. In the mid-'90s, no two groups of high-end professionals
had migrated more swiftly or come to depend more absolutely on PCs and
the Internet to do their work. No two occupational groups have a more
highly excitable, adrenaline-addicted nature, or a greater tendency to
skitter along in unthinking packs, sheep-like.
