  A comment on Conversation: Does information want to be free or does it love copyright?

  Feb 11 2013: Thank you for the very solid and realistic approach Joshua. It does partly answer the question.
  
  But what if we take a few steps back and try to remember how easy it was for people to accept having to pay in order to buy a newspaper and read the news a few years ago. Most of them -and almost all young people under 20- would now tell you that the news is something you read online for free.
  
  Newspaper publishing used to be a profitable business and in my humble opinion web publishing can also be, only the point of making profit seems to have shifted from selling the information itself to selling some ad space to customer-oriented advertising.
  
  I am just wondering if this means more free information or more direct marketing.

• A comment on Conversation: Should miniaturized GPS devices be sold for the public?

  Feb 11 2013: As any other hi-tech piece of equipment is can be used for good and for bad. I am not really sure that restricting such a gadget from being sold publicly will do the world. History shows that when crime needs a resource it will find it in illegal ways.

  Feb 11 2013: Times change, and technology does too, but there will always be some children purely enjoying the magic of a tale like this and some children trying to figure out how technology behind it, both equally enjoying the journey.
