Editorial Introduction to Issue 58: People Still Matter

editor — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0000

Richard Waller introduces Ariadne issue 58.

Editorial Introduction to Ariadne Issue 39: Humanity V Technology, Which Is in the Driving Seat?

editor — Thu, 29 Apr 2004 23:00:00 +0000

Richard Waller introduces Ariadne issue 39.

Why it is in this particular issue that I should perceive two forces in ceaseless conflict, I do not know. Nonetheless my very imprecise recollection of Newton's Third Law speaks of every action having an equal and opposite reaction which puts me in mind of something Paul Browning wrote about the timeliness of Through the Web Authoring Tools .
