Ideally, some sort of license should be created. The same way we have
a driver's license to share the roadway, a medical license to practice
medicine, or a law degree to practice law. The licensing process could
be handled by the D.I.S. (Department of Internet Surfing) in each
major metropolitan area. Licensees would be tested for familiarity
with one computer operating system, network and internetworking
knowledge, and, of course, netiquitte! Each general licensee would be
cautioned against using capital letters in email, sudden
disconnections from remote computers, and surfing during `rush hours'
on the net. A second license or training program should be established
for the people who set up, configure, and maintain installations of
networking software. Its one thing to use these systems and
utilities. Just wait until you're trying to hook them up to the
ethernet cable in you living room two years from now! (Good Luck!)
