Theos-Talk Archives (December 1995 Message tl00340)

Here is a very interesting excerpt from Upside Magazine 1/96 Issue

Right in the focal point of this new juggernaut is a group called
Technologically Advanced Families TAFs which my firm the Yankee Group
has been studying for 10 years. This group which consists of around 14.5
million U.S. families is already accessing AOL Prodigy and Compuserve.
They were first in line for Windows 95 and they believe the Internet is the
most potent force in the damn universe.

This is a group that defines itself by its familiarity with technology
and whose influence and clout is much greater than its percentage of the
population would imply. Ask Intel about the role the TAFs played in the
Pentium debacle. They stormed the chat lines and forced a major corporation
to capitulate or face the wrath of an angry -- and interconnected -- cadre.

MKR comment:

If you look at the past it is some of the extra ordinary individuals and
small groups of individuals who have have impacted progress. The TAFs quote
above seem to show us a way. There is a great potential for us here to
contribute to Theosophy via the Internet.

Any comments?
