1984 the year has a special interest to me. There is a book by the same name, this is not about that book. This is about that year, the year I turned 10, the year I knew it.
It's kind of a strange thing in retrospect. I knew it, at the time, that something had happened, but I wasn't sure what it was.

"In fall 1984, at the first Hackers' Conference, I said in one discussion session: "On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free (1), because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other." - Stewart Brand
