"Remarkable new technology is introduced into the school system and experts predict education will be revolutionized. The technology will, as never before, allow the widespread dissemination of new concepts and ideas that stimulate young minds and free the teacher for more creative pursuits. Yet, the magic fails to materialize, and within a few years articles appear in the popular press asserting that the failure obviously arises from the teachers not being skilled enough in the new technology."

The Internet Enhanced Problem:Imagine you are a stowaway on a cargo boat.
Cautiously looking over the edge of the vessel, you see nothing but ocean on all sides, and you decide that you want to get back home without alerting the ship's crew to your presence.
You know only the ship's identification code, lucky for you; you remembered to pack your laptop, cellular phone and modem.
