2. The IMPLICATIONS OF FUTURE TECHNOLOGY FOR TOMORROW'S INFORMATION WORKER
Abstract
When the organizers of this conference asked me more than a year ago to provide this meeting with a paper, which should be ‘to a high degree imaginative, forward‐looking and provocative’, I had a feeling, that ‘King Aslib’ was somehow looking for a court jester, a ‘Hofnarr’ like the ones which used to enliven the sessions of the Dukes of Hessen at Darmstadt Castle. Now I happen to have a lot of admiration for those sharp tongued little men sitting at the end of the table, because they could dare to utter certain truths—or at least half‐truths—and throw out preposterous but sometimes amusing ideas, which the mighty ones could not have uttered without losing face.
