Thanks for joining 2020world!  Welcome to life in the year 2020.

Let me introduce myself and then explain 2020world.  My name is Kurt Dahl
and I am currently the Vice President of Information Technology at The
Seattle Times (Seattle's major metro newspaper).  I am writing a new
weekly column called 2020world that is published in the Sunday Seattle
Times Personal Technology section. 

The idea of 2020world is to explore how our lives will change when the 
information highway is a familiar and integral part of our society.  The 
column will *NOT* be about technology, that's why I picked the year 2020, 
by then we can all agree that a broadband, fully switched, ubiquitous 
network will have been in place for many years.  How that network will 
change our lives, not how it will work, is the question 2020world will 
address.

You will find these columns to be new stuff, original and sometimes 
outrageous ideas.  2020world will go well beyond the typical mainstream 
concepts of home-shopping and video-on-demand, and yet it will be written 
for the general reader.

As a member of the 2020world mailing list you will automatically receive,
via e-mail, each weekly column on Monday morning, independent of the
digest posting.  But, we want you to do more than just read it, we want
you to respond.  With each column, I will put an idea in play, toss the
first jump ball.  Then, ask you and inspire you to comment on, explore,
and extend that idea with your response.  The best will be published in
the paper. 

Each week the new 2020world column will be e-mailed to you as well as 
the best and most exciting comments and responses.  If you want to 
respond to a column or someone else's response, simply send an e-mail 
to our address below.  Any questions, send me an e-mail directly or 
call.

Thanks again for joining the 2020world mailing list.  With your help, 
perhaps we can begin to understand the true impact of the information 
highway and life in the year 2020!

Kurt Dahl
