Well said, Ray.


Perhaps graduates of American universities should be considered - I'm

thinking of MIT and Stanford, both good schools (particularly MIT, which

has Tim Berners-Lee and Nicholas Negroponte on the faculty).


Having said that, it's extremely difficult, in my experience, to get

Americans to accept the fact that they number a mere 260 m of a world

population of about 6 bn. I had rather hoped that Brits had a somewhat

wider and deeper world view.


The Web is currently American. But let's look five years hence - anyone

speak Cantonese or Hindi?


Cheers!
