Communication Epiphanies

John Perry Barlow, co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, has written about a compelling experience with voice-chat.

I can clearly remember the sense of wonder at being witness to a significant shift in communications when I first used instant messaging with my friends (it was ICQ at the time). It sounds as though Barlow has had a similar experience with audio communication over the internet.

I’ve cought glimpses of this world from the new guy who moved in down stairs.
